280zx dizzy into 240z


Recommended Posts

Alright I haven't been able to find my answer anywhere, so I'm going to ask. I bought an early 280zx distributor for my 240z along with a zx coil. I've heard using this dizzy, it'll put out a lot more spark. Well, I used to have a crane cams xr700 ignition system with electronic pickup- Do I still need to use the ignition box, or will the dizzy itself put out enough spark? I already know I need to eliminate the ballast resistor and how to connect it.

You might want to search "E12-80" and see what comes up. One thing with these distributors that is pretty much always wrong is the vacuum advance is broken.

 

Also, when using electronic ignition you no longer want to use the ballast resistor, so you can just make a little jumper wire to connect to both sides. Then you'll make full use of your better spark.
