YoungRayZ Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Hey guys. I have an early 260Z and i was wondering if I can use the original distributor with the MSD box and what mods (if any) are required to do this. Also do I still need the stock transistor modual and wiring under the dash or can it all get thrown out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getZ Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 The msd 6AL should fit in without any problems. It goes in between the stock triggering and the coil so nothing is eliminated. You just wire it in between. Use the ballast resistor if you have one. This should all be documented within the archives of this site. Try a search on MSD 6AL and you should even be able to find a wiring diagram. It is ideal to mount the MSD away from engine heat and moisture, but they do tend to be a little noisy, like static on the radio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 The 6AL also has a module built into it, and you might be able to do away with the 260 module and run the one in the MSD instead. I was able to do this on my 280ZX distributor. I just ran the two wires that come out of the dizzy to the "Magnetic Pickup Connector".

I did this same thing with my early 260 and removed the stock module. I also didn't need the tach adaptor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
