  1. Anyone with a 240Z seat belt buckle sleeve in good shape they'd part with? Going to re-dye it so cosmetically it can be dirty and grimy, just needs to be complete and good physical condition.
  2. FIXED... distro is 180 degrees off.... moved wires 180 degrees and the car fired right off. And that makes sense now... with that funky swap the dual distro was using the points on the right, a true single point has them on the left, therefore 180 degrees different. Thanks for the help.
  3. Yeah, the more I think about it the more I think the distro may be 180 off.... backfire thru the exhaust (I think) means it's firing while the exhaust valve is open which if I understand the sequence properly it is firing on the opposite stroke from what it should be... and I did not look at the wires before disconnecting the old stuff, my bad, I just assumed they were in the proper order... I have no idea what was done to make the dual-point distro run on only one set of points... thanks for making me step outside the box and think about it... Oh, that's an important piece of the puzzle not posted here..... when I got the car it had some kind of dual-point to single-point conversion not. Not a distro swap, the dual was somehow made to run on one set of points. I subsequently installed the Euro-curve true single-point distro from my other car.
  4. No, didn't swap them one at a time since I had diagrams to make sure I put them on right. So to answer NewZed, yes. I went to look at my other 240 this morning and the wires are right. Tried old cap & rotor, same problem. Checked the gap on all of the plugs before installing them, all were snug at .034 which is in spec. Put the old plugs back in, still no fire. Tomorrow if time allows I'll pull the Pertronix and put the points back in to test that.
  5. Installed new plugs, wires, cap, and rotor tonight. Now the car won't start. Backfires thru the exhaust which tells me it's not firing at the right times. What the heck did I screw up??? Video of the wires https://youtu.be/FrRA1qIPcrY
