evildky Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 ok, another stupid question for you L6 guru's, my L24 has a points distributor (of course) and I have an electrinic L28 dist, to wire it I would need to hook one lead to the negetive side of the coil and the other to the wire that is currently hooked to the negetive side of dist. right ? am I missing something ?

z-ya Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 It's not that simple. You can't just swap the distrbutors, you will also need the module from the 280Z, and I would also use the coil from the 280Z. Just swap the whole assembly and associated wiring. If you can find a NA 280ZX distributor, the module is mounted on the distributor, and it's a simple two wire hookup. But you should use the 280ZX coil, or an aftermarket coil that can be used without a ballast resistor. If you use the 240Z coil, it will overheat and fail without the ballast (current limiting) resistor. Hope this helps, Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evildky Posted March 13, 2003 Author Share Posted March 13, 2003 but now that i think of it I am switching to a 280 tach because the 240 is dead and I happen to have a 280 sitting around, and I also have an MSD 6A sitting on a shelf I was gonna use for another project so I think I can handle it now, any warning before I do this ?
