Moltar Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Alright, vehicle is a 1971 240z. Original engine and still equipped with SUs. I dropped in the zx distributor with the E12-80 module and I'm getting a few interesting problems: 1)Idle drops 200-300 rpm's after several minutes (no vacuum leak on the engine/intake). 2)I am unable to adjust the timing - when I move the distributor around I may be able to get 5 or 6 degrees change total (this is with the collar unscrewed to the distributor as well as to the engine mount). It just wants to keep the idle at what it wants. Anyone else have these problems? I know it is only with the zx distributor as I just put back on a 240 distributor and now all my problems are gone (aside from being reliant on points again). Is the E12-92 module any better? I have one of those as well, and tempted to try it out (although Z-Garage says it retards his timing). So if bring this conundrum to you HybridZ - let me know your experiences with it in swapping in a zx distributor onto an early carb'ed Z.

MikeBZ Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I would redo the timing. Reset TDC and clock the distributor. If you still have the same problem, run to pick n pull and get another e12-80 module. Although usually if the module is bad you dont get any spark..... I wouldnt try to use the e12-92 module..

280zNHChris Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Did you put in the zx coil and bypass the resistor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
