Guest Anonymous Posted February 22, 2002 Share Posted February 22, 2002 My datsun WAS running It has some weird ass electric distributor form a toyota(that's what the guy i bought it from told me) or some wierd thing??? He has a huge pile of datsun parts and he says that the 260z dual point distributor is the way to go. Im just wondering if this is a good suggestion or what? I looked at the whole ignition setup and its pretty damn retarded how he had the ignition jimmy rigged, teres wires hangin from all over the place the ignition module is held on the thermostat housing, I just want it to be simple and theres nothing easier/inexpensive(i work at a carquest dealer and the ignition module is 200+dollers) to work on than points.

BLKMGK Posted February 22, 2002 Share Posted February 22, 2002 Hrm, I don't much like points but I'm NOT a Datsun "expert". One of my L6 motors has a GM HEI module on it and those are a dime a dozen. I'd suggest looking into using one of those setups - it's got to be more common and reliable than a cobbled Toyota setup. I've never heard of such a thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spotfitz Posted February 23, 2002 Share Posted February 23, 2002 I have a 260 electronic ignition module(which did work before I pulled it to go MSD 6AL) and several distributors of various years with single and dual pick-ups, if you want them for cheap. Email me direct. I love to deal with swapping parts. Hint, hint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAW Posted February 23, 2002 Share Posted February 23, 2002 Get a distributor from an'81-'83 280ZX or '81-'84 Maxima. Direct bolt-in and has the module on the dist. as part of the assy; one or two wire simple hook up. Forget points, forget the dual pickup 260Z and the 280Z with the module inside the passenger compartment. DAW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted February 24, 2002 Share Posted February 24, 2002 ok i figured out that the distributer isnt a toyota dist. this guy has no idea what he's talkin about. i took the module into work and ran the number and its a nissan module. the distributer has 2 wires coming out of it, a green and a red. the module has 4 plugs. 2 wires in each plug . one is the red and green out of the distrib and the other 2 are a blue and black/white goin to the positve(black/white) and negative (blue) side of my coil. both sides of the coil, all wires in the ign module, coil to cap ign wire all have 12.8v of current in the on position of the ignition. when i put the coil wire 3/8 of an inch away from ground there is no spark if you know if anything else could be wrong or something is wrong please tell me. THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
