I got used distributor and i was wondering does it fit. My original one has these markings: D609-56A 506 but the "new" one has different D609-56A 707 Also, what could cause my current distributor to wobble? I have changed the axel from the oil pump and that didnt affect.

After replacing the dash on my '73, my ignition switch is causing me HUGE grief. I connect the battery, and can go from lock to off to accessory to run no problem. Backing it off, I can go from run to acc to off to lock, but at that point lock is powered. And if i try to remove my key, it want's to start. Got a new ignition switch, same problem. I've disconnected all under my steering wheel again, just the switch into the 6 pin connector, and it still happens. Any ideas? Shot relay? Moderator edit from PM exchange:

I'm considering buying a 1980 ZX remanned dizzy and new module (Duralast brand) from Autozone here in SoCal. Together they should run me a little over $300 and both units have lifetime warranty. I'm putting it into my '73 240Z. I did a bit of research last night, and of course I'll do more, but if anyone wants to share their thoughts or even point me to the right thread by posting a link I'd appreciate it. I'm thinking about replacing the Pertronix Ignitor because the low dwell doesn't sit right with me.

First question is about my alternator, I have no clue if it works, the car is a 77 sat for 8 years I have the alternator off and have cleaned the outside, but I'm wondering while it is off should I take it apart and clean the entire thing? Second question which is totally unrelated but none the less electrical in nature. I have almost everything out of my engine bay right now in preparation for being painted. The main thing that is left is the wiring harness.. Is there anyway to "easily" remove this? I see cars that have just been painted without it so I know it can be done but how exactly do you remove it? Along with that I only want to remove the wiring harness from the…

I have a 75 280z and a 260z engine. I also have a dumb amount of wiring harnesses and none seem to be correct. I'm only looking at running the bare min. of wiring (no ac/heat) and w/e else I can ditch. I believe I have the correct wiring for my alt. and starter but thats about it. I believe all I need now is the ignition to be wired up which is for the most part where I am stuck. What else needs to be there? There is the fuses, alt., starter, battery and ignition any thing else im forgetting about that is absolutely NEEDED? Any pictures of a dual weber setup would be helpful, along with any advice on what I need to do. I'm really ready to try to crank thi…

I would like to share an interesting fact about this NOS clock for Datsun 240Z I recently obtain from a collector. It comes with a tag from Jeco stating in Japanese as followed: "In order to maintain accuracy of this clock, it is recommended to take it apart for a clean up once a year" So, do we need to take it apart every year now?

Like the title says, I've given up. Over the past 2 years or so, I've wasted a pile of time trying to get electronic ignition into my 240Z. And I've failed. I could never get anything working well enough that I could be happy with it. I've tried two different ZX distributors, a total of three different E12-80 modules, a Pertronix ignitor in the stock 240Z distributor, and four different coils (original 240Z, original ZX, new aftermarket ZX & 3.0Ω Pertronix). It's worth noting that all three of the distributors I've tried had good vacuum advance units and no slop in the shaft bushings. Good, solid dizzies. I've fought pinging from bad advance curves, ignition washout a…

I bought my z from california few years back and it has this problem now and then. Sometimes starter just wont say anything, and if you wait like 20 secs, it starts normally. Starter is about 10 years old according to service history. Solenoid going bad or is the problem elsewhere?

'73 240z. New to Datsuns. I've got a few lights which are not working: heater controls, choke/seatbelt/fog. Tested the lights with a battery, they work. 1st image - shows unknown yellow power and black ground disconnected which is part of a group of wires running to this gold box under the glovebox. Accessory relay? The other end of these wires follows through to the choke/seat/fog panel. I put power to the yellow and I could hear a tick sound but still no lights to the panel. 2nd image - lights for the heater controls with the ground. These also don't light up. Connected to the accessory relay as well? How can you tell if a relay is faulty? Initially I had a …

Accidentally hooked the Engine Harness to the Dash Harness incorrectly in one spot and fried a wire. My car is a 2/'70 240z. The wire friend comes from the Engine Harness, though the firewall, and has a four-wire connector holding a Red, Blue, Blue/White, and Blue/Yellow. The Red wire is the one that is fried. Can anyone identify where this Red wire leads to? Was unable to discern from the FSM. Car cranks now but won't turn over. I'm wondering if this wire leads to the ignition coil. Thanks, I need to re-wire this single wire and don't know where it leads.

I cant figure out where to plug in the Yellow wire and Black/Yellow wire. I have been looking at the wiring in the book and I can see the wiper has a yellow wire and a black/yellow wire but do not see what to hook the wires in the pitures up to. If anyone can help it would be great. They are by the relays. The car is a late 73.
