davek Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Bought this 73 in Nov and just starting to get it running. Runs real poor. Taking the distributor a part I see it's missing one centrifugal advance spring. Anyone have a set or at least one I get my hands on. The distributor case is marked D609-58A then 401 under the other numbers. I realize this is an older engine maybe a 71 or 72. The vacuume advance plate had the ball ground into the plate. I surface ground the plate flat and ready to reassemble. Need a spring or a set would be nice. I can send cash or paypal or what ever Or own you one. thanks Dave dk9389@gmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewZed Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Check your dealer. Some of the old parts are still available. See below. http://www.carpartsmanual.com/datsunS30/DatsunZIndex/Electrical/Distributor/240Z/ForManual/tabid/1688/Default.aspx http://www.courtesyparts.com/spring-gov-p-276887.html Also, your dist. number doesn't show up as a 240Z number, close but not quite, but the list in this thread may not include them all. Your dealer might have a dist. number part reference for the spring. http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/electrical-s30/34192-280zx-distributor-advance-curve-reference.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
