The tense "past perfect" always expresses that a certain event ( verb ) has occurred before the occurrence of another event ( verb ) in the past too .
Also it is used when you are talking about something that was taking place continuously in the past and another event ( verb ) suddenly occurred.

'what he said he wanted'.
If it's just the tense you want to change then it's 'said'. Says is current.
