zane9000 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I pulled a used distributor from an early ZX the other day, and when I was taking it apart I found a brown ring that was broken into three pieces under the breaker plate. I assumed it was the stator because I didnt see anything else that could be, but when I looked at the exploded view of my distributor in my Chilton manual it does not list a stator or magnetic assembly for my distributor like it does for the others. I have one of the earlier distributors with the ignition module mounted on the fender well not the distributor body. If that ring was not a stator, then what could it have been, was it important, or was it one of those pesky "extra parts"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zane9000 Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 Just looked up the code stamped on it and it appears someone put a distributor from a pre-77z into the ZX I grabbed it from .. O well, I am still curious about the stator... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zane9000 Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 I guess it was just part of the breaker plate. It looks like it was holding some small balls to help it rotate which I found while taking apart the dizzy. I guess I dont need it anyway because I am locking both the mechanical and vacuum advance down on this thing, so I will just put it back together and hope for the best..
