GrayZee Posted March 8, 2001 Share Posted March 8, 2001 I got a 76z with dual pickup coils and someone has changed the tranny to a 5spd from a newer zx. So there is no switch to control the dual system. The question is what effect will this have on the car? What exactly does the dual system do anyway? is it good for performance or just a emission thing? Perhaps it can be modified for performance?

spotfitz Posted March 8, 2001 Share Posted March 8, 2001 If memory serves me correct, the dual pickup is for an auto. I would think that if you could use this with another ECU you could program different timing, but don't quote me on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax240z Posted March 8, 2001 Share Posted March 8, 2001 Dual pickup is for an auto. I put one of those on my 5spd 240 and managed to get it working quite well by removing one pickup. I believe (and don't quote me) that I removed the pickup closest to the engine, and left the otherone right where it was. With both in, the car had a terrible misfire. ------------------ Richard Lewis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrayZee Posted March 9, 2001 Author Share Posted March 9, 2001 Well you guys are right that the dual pickup is for the automatic, but I have read that they also came on the 1975 models. Why my 76 has one I don't know.. I do know my car has a low digit serial number for a 76. I have thought of trying to take advantage of it somehow by having two different timing settings, but I don't know much about the effect of different timing settings to tune for performance.
