rvandivort Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Hi! Just wanted to make sure about linkage. This dizzy has two coils. I`m assuming either would work. I am planning to use the red and the green--the ground between the two. They are advance and retard coils. Any advice on this? Going to knock the pins out shortly to lock the advance per previous threads. Also, any info on where to get connectors for the LET knock sensor, and the 240sx 60mm male online? Thanks a lot,Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rvandivort Posted April 23, 2008 Author Share Posted April 23, 2008 Any help on this...or am I going to figure this stuff on My own? I will gladly do so. Moby , I can do this stuff off of the original harness of My 76 Z, But, was hoping for a more sophisticated way of completing the job. thanks for the newbie thing--a wonderful way of bringing a new way of looking at life! You are nothing unless You know The all knowing greatness of the Z world! Come On!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Cramer Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 If that's like a dual coil Mopar distributor, you have to lock out the advance mechanism and use just one coil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z-ya Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 What distributor are you referring to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobythevan Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I didn't do the Newbie thing, I'm just a mod I can't mess with that stuff. I didn't reply to this thread simply because I haven't done any work with the 76 dizzy to megasquirt, sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvandivort Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 Thanks, Matt! That was the answer I was looking for. Roger. This out of thread but, where are good places to find electrical connectors on line. I`m looking for a connector for the 240sx 60mm throttle body in particular(the 3 connector pigtail)--and others as well. Thanks again to You all.

rvandivort Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 Moby. Sorry, I didn`t understand this process .You have been a great help to Me. Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvandivort Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 Z YA, It`s a 76 dual reluctor( actually, June 1976 )--as opposed to the singles. One is advance and one is retard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvandivort Posted May 4, 2008 Author Share Posted May 4, 2008 Have the thing apart. The red and green pickup has the collar. The brown and green has the "contactor". Which one? Assuming the latter, because the the california version has only one pickup with contractor. Thank God they only made this for two years!

rvandivort Posted May 5, 2008 Author Share Posted May 5, 2008 Finally figured this out --I think! Pulled the retard coil (next to the now nonexistent vacuum advance), used the screw at the adjustment markings to pin the top plate to the bottom (per Naviathan only different method). I drilled through the bottom plate to allow the screw to penetrate through flush. Will J weld to finish. This should work for 74-78 models.

rvandivort Posted May 5, 2008 Author Share Posted May 5, 2008 Also am going to JB weld the slots on the main shaft to eliminate advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvandivort Posted May 11, 2008 Author Share Posted May 11, 2008 Brown and green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvandivort Posted May 11, 2008 Author Share Posted May 11, 2008 I finally realized that this is the old dual point distributor present on the muscle cars in the 60`s and 70`s--only in a different form.Like I have on My 340cid swap 66 Dodge van. Like DUHH--only a new way of doing it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
