I have a 1972 240z been working on it for about three years. I was going to
try and start it soon but when i was putting the distributor in had some
problems.
I put eng at TDC then find numb 1 cylinder spark plug wire and line cap and rotor up. When i do this the bottom plate does not line up as seen in pic. And if i line up bottom plate it is no longer pointing at number 1 cylinder on cap.
The car did have some stuff changed before i bought it. It has a 280 eng
L28 block,N42 head thinking its between 1977-79 engine.Dont know what year exactly.
Was thinking mabe the guy mixed some parts around, as for the bottom
plate goes. Looks like the dizzy is from the 240z and the bottom part that the dizzy bolts to is from the 280z.
But the thing is the car ran when i bought it,drove it about 2 hours home. So i dont know, hopeing to get some pics or info.
