MAYHEM Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I'm going to be doing this upgrade soon, and I have 2 questions. 1. with the ballast resistor removed is there any thing I have to consisder when getting a new coil? Also when I got the dizzy for my car I was unable to retreive the offset dizzy mount. does anyone have one laying around not being used? I'll be more than happy to pay for it.

AK-Z Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I have a 77 offset mount. Don't have a 80 zx mount though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 You should disassemble and inspect the ZX distributor. The vacuum advance mechanism falls apart all the time, if you're looking for performance, disable it completely so that it can't move at all. I wasn't aware of the hotter spark from the ZX distributor, but it has a better advance curve to it, that's for sure. Only 17 degrees mechanical advance, vs something like 22 or 24 degrees on the earlier distributors IIRC. That means you can disconnect the vacuum advance run more advance at idle and still not have too much total. I'd start around 18 degrees at idle, and try +- a few degrees from there.

MAYHEM Posted March 23, 2006 Author Share Posted March 23, 2006 if you're looking for performance, disable it completely so that it can't move at all. By not hooking up the vacumm line or by another means ? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
