    Hey guys where are we at on this black box? If there's a compatibility issue with the OE distributor and it's compatible with Pertronix; wouldn't it be easy and inexpensive to just drop one of their systems in the stock distributor? Pertronix Ignitor 1 and 2 have a solid reputation and their use has been well documented in the Datsun/Nissan  community. I would be seriously interested in a modern and adjustable ignition setup that looks totally stock and cost under $300 all in. Also on the topic of distributor spark break-up, I had a 4th gen prelude si throughout high school and college which is a distributor type ignition and that thing screamed on the top end. Take it for what it's worth. Thanks guys. Good find. 

     

    I had no more responses from the vendor. I was thinking about using an optical pick up in the distributor too. Perhaps someone will just need to bite the bullet and give it a shot. I am still building my engine so i'm not ready.

    It's been some time since i posted last, life has been busy while the car mainly looks the same I have added tripple 44s and am currently in process of building an engine. I sourced a LD crank... ouch ($$) and a set of 240z 9mm rods with 240sx pistons, still not sure if i want to run that combo or switch to a forged setup from kameari. Mainly just trying to keep her on the road as much as possible. 

     

    And what would be an update without some pictures!

    @DAT240ZI have one of a 1978, it does have egr but you can have it for $50 complete with fuel rail and injectors. Not sure if they are functional though. Motor came from salvage yard. Shipping not included located in SE Michigan

    @lowrider I had similar thoughts, but if he had tried 3 or 4 different distributors I would assume he tried different types as well. i think my ZX dizzy should work well. I had also asked if he considered using this with an optical trigger such as the Crane/FAST xr700 but no response yet. Will update as i get more info.

    you should target an early L28, N42 block/N42 head this would mean you can utilize your stock square port exhaust manifold and you can still use a mechanical pump in it's stock location. 

    Also assuming you don't use it, the EFI intake manifold that doesn't have an EGR can be sold for a bit of money ($150-$300 latest i seen)

     

    if you wanted to go a bit further, you could swap the pistons for some 280zx flat tops and raise your compression and make a bit more power.

    I wouldn't define my car as a track car that stays at high engine speeds for extended periods of time. I do want to do some track days but mainly it's going to be a street car. 

     

    The timing light jumping could just be due to the induction clamp signal,  distributors have been in use for a long time even on hondas that revved beyond 8k rpm  so i wouldn't think it's an issue.

    So i know there is an ignition specific forum but i feel that this page is more frequently visited. 

    I have recently upgraded my 240z to tripple mikunis and also i am building a second motor with a stroker crank and other goodies.  

    The one area i am not too sure of is ignition.  Currently my car is equipped with the ZX distributor and it seems to work well enough but with my new motor i presume that i would need to recurve the dizzy? To be honest I'm not sure how to even specify what i need there.

    The other options i've heard of were the 

    1.  123distributors - programmable distributor $586 - easy to program/tune , looks factory, good reviews 

    2. LS Coils? - individual coil setup but what can i use to control it? expensive after all set and done? 

    3. others ? 

     

    thanks for your help
