I've got a distributor from an 81 NA 280zx that should have the base your looking for, I removed the entire dsitributor setup for EDIS conversion. It's in my removed parts that aren't worth anything pile so you can have it. Hit me up. newman280@yahoo.com -Garett

I've been a member here for quite a few years learning alot but never posted as it seems so many people here have ALOT more Z knowledge than myself. Anyway I got my Z as an economical college car (free from my Dad's girlfriends sister). It's been a project over the past few years and I'm trying to finish it but it seems like it's a project that will never end. Here are some of the mods and in-process items. I haven't dynoed the car yet but it's a little scary at 18psi and I can smoke my buddies 442rwhp mustang. Except for the balancing and serious machine work I've done all the work myself learning as I go. 1981 280zx GL Slicktop NA(originally) 5-speed Motor: F54 block, silverlight pistons, polished crank P90 Head, Port matched and polished 2mm metal Head gasket Jim Wolf stage 2 turbo cam, Harmonically balanced springs Garret T3/T40B, water & oil cooled ...I think 50 trim ported & modified exhaust housing for external wastegate External tail 38mm wastegate, 1.5" pipe goes into exhaust after DP 3" Mandrel DP and exhaust, no cat with magnaflow muffler JSK rail w/ 550cc RC racing injectors MSD fuel pump, 3/8" aluminum line to rail Aeromotive Fuel pressure regulator with electronic sender N42 Intake, port matched and polished 60mm 240sx Throttle body, lexan spacer 2.5" aluminum intake tubing, T-band clamps throughout 27"x 12"x 3.5" Bar and Plate Intercooler TurboXS BOV RFL-H EDIS coil on plug Megasquirt II EFI BIG summit oil cooler mounted between FMIC and radiator 2 stage boost controller, 10psi and 18psi zeitronix Wideband o2 sensor 16" electric fan controlled by MS Suspension: Full Tokico race system...
