Guest ttoude Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Ok, my Reluctor made contact and has a couple broken fins. I got a JY distributor and the part numbers match they are both Non-California automatic distributors. My car is a 4 speed manuel. So there been a switch somewhere over the years, obviously. Please help, If the dizzy is wrong that might explain some of the black smoke and poor RPMs above 5000. Airbox was wrong too with no part number on it (replaced) OR how do I find out if a 4spd was swapped in and is causing running problems cause of some obscure sensor that the AT has and the MT does not. (info: my first Z 2 months, 1977 280 Odometer stopped at 56,000, 4spd, No Hx from prior owners or mods but appears stock) The black smoke is killin me it already sounds like a diesal now its starting to billow smoke like one.

Guest ttoude Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 And I'm using a 76 FSM for my 77 cause the 77FSM is "TnA". I'll also mention my dist is a single pickup D6F5-02 (6704 22100 N4700) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ttoude Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 by the way, this is a IDENTIFICATION question. I want to know which one is the alien, the dizzy, the trans, or the motor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Help please I believe everything is the same between cali and federal z's (s30's anyway) But i never cared much for the 70's bosch EFI systems, also the early z car transmissions dont have any sensors or computers for them, just the reverse switch. the intake from the AFM forward wont have any effect on a stock car, unless its choking it severely. It sounds like you need to check your air flow meter (AFM) for the running rich problem. also, think out your question and organize your messages, it's ok to spend 10 minutes proof reading and editing your message before you post.
