Boog Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Hey guys, I'm megasquirting my N/A to turbo setup, and I forgot to pull the base of the dizzy with the unit.......All I need is the mounting base, that goes between the dizzy and the block. I don't know if all 280zx bases will work, or if the turbo one is different, but if someone could chime in on that I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

ozzinc Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 They are not the same, you will have to the base from either a 81 280ZX turbo or a 82 280ZX Turbo, if you look under the base of your Turbo Distributor it should look like a Torx head fitting on a plain 280ZX distributor it has a fitting cut in half, when you get the correct base your Torx like fitting on your Turbo Distributor slide right in that Torx like opening, on my 280ZX Turbo Distributor I also Change the Chopper wheel inside with A chopper wheel from a 84 300ZX what you get is a true #1 cylinder "Home" reference. With the crank angle sensor in the distributor you get 720 degrees of engine rotation for each 360 degree of trigger wheel rotation. This allows for a unique #1 cylinder identifier. The original trigger wheel in the 280zx turbo does not uniquely reference the #1 cylinder. That's why you need to change the wheel. The 81 distributor has no optical sensor built in, which is why they use the crank trigger wheel and pick-up. The 82/83 distributor is a direct drop in replacement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRRTz Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Turbo dizzy mounts straight to the timing cover, there is no base. As long as you have the correct shaft it will drop right on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
