cobraz240z Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Can I wire a 81 280zx distributer in my 240z? And how? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 http://www.jrdemers.com/280ZX/distributor/distributor.html http://www.jrdemers.com/280ZX/distributor/ignition2.gif That page has instructions on tear down and inspection of the distributor. I would suggest that you take a look and consider at least tearing it down to inspect the vacuum advance mechanism which is almost always broken. The image has the wiring diagram on how to wire it up. Basically you run a wire from the neg coil terminal to the C connector on the module and the positive to the B connector. Conect the ballast to the positive as well. That's it. SUPER easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2126 Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Ricardo, yes you can use the 81 280ZX distributor in your 240. It can be hooked up using a GM HEI module or any of the aftermarket modules that are similar. Just make sure the ZX distributor's centrifical advance is not worn out.....I have one of those that I replaced all parts in, except the advance mechanism. There have been lengthy discussions about this subject in the past so, dive into the search function. Also check on Classic Zcar Club for the same. Haven't seen you in a while!
