curt76280 Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I have a 76 280z that I am in the process of building an engine for ,and I am going carbed. My question is this,Will changing from my stock dizzy to an e12-80 out of a 79 zx help me or is it worth the effort ,I have found where someone swapped this into a 77 and wondered if it would be the same to swap into a 76 . My engine has the water temp. switch and from what I have read my dizzy uses 2 pickups for timing and the water temp. switch-the one that is in the thermostat housing that has 2 wires that come straight out of the sending unit or switch with no connector, uses water temp to change from 1 pickup to the other. And from what I can find the 77 and up do not have this switch,I have allread fixed the water temp switch,p.o. tried to but it didn't work so I had to remove it and dremel away some of the base where the wires come out and solder new wires on. My main reason for doing this is better performance as well as cleaning up the engine bay and removing any wiring that is not needed. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated,thanks ,Curt:burnout: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
