ZsRUSTIN Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Hey Guys, I just found this optical ignition setup at a local junkyard. It came off a wrecked 260Z. I got the whole setup for $6.95, with the distributer. It has a optical trigger and came with a epoxy type coil. It has 1 wire that wasn't connected, maybe a tach output. I took it home, cleaned up all the connections, hooked it up to 12v and gave it a spin and it zapped the s**t out of me. Someone says it might be a early Allison setup. Would this be a reliable setup for me to use on my 73 240? Thanks, Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran two of those on my Mazda R13B for several years. No problem. They are reliable as any solid state ignition would be. As long as the LED functions you should be good to go. It seems to me the model # was "X-3" or some such designation. g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
