HowlerMonkey Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 The 280zx turbo distributor (or crank sensor) makes 180 pulse peaks per crankshaft revolution and 3 120 degree pulses per crank revolution. The non-turbo distributor makes only the 3 120 degree pulses per revolution. If you got the engine only and plan to run it on the 1979 ecu and harness, you can do that by swapping the distributor and injectors over but you will run a bit lean at stock boost. If you keep the turbo injectors on and run the 1979 engine management system, you will pull your hair out trying to get it to run lean enough to not foul the plugs anywhere except under boost. The best solution is to run it on the stock 280zx turbo harness, distributor, airflow meter, and ecu.....if you have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
