Posted March 18, 200420 yr comment_73160 Has anyone had any experience putting a Bosch disctributor in their zed? I found a place that converts them for use with a L6 motor and as spares are plentiful should it be easy to maintain etc. I've heard there aren't many parts for the stock ZX distributors left, and what is still around is expensive by comparison.What about other aftermarket dizzys? My points dizzy is too stuffed in the shaft to use the magnetic conversion..help!!!!

March 18, 200420 yr comment_73164 Is the conversion to electronic?Where and how much will this cost? Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/10797-bosch-distributor/#findComment-73164 Share on other sites More sharing options...
March 18, 200420 yr Author comment_73166 $450 for the dizzy......ugh:dead: That's from Performance Ignition in Melb. I know that 280 dizzys are generally cheaper, but most of the one's I've seen have been stuffed..

March 18, 200420 yr Author comment_73259 Are there any other after-market electronic ignition dizzy's? I'm not talking about the Petronix "coversion" unit. I mean new, dedicated electronic ignition rather than an internal points conversion - after all if the shaft is worn, it'll still be wrong.

MSA lists a Mallory Unilite distributor online for a whopping $489 US which is actually down from the $499 listed in their catalog:http://www.zcarparts.com/store/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=PEIC01 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/10797-bosch-distributor/#findComment-73260 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt it would be the shaft, I believe [but haven't done it] that the bearing can be pressed out and replaced.Presto.... no movement and dizzy like new!

March 19, 200420 yr comment_73375 MikeW,I wound up going with the Mallory Unilite dist. However, and I'll have to look for it again, I aquired the Mallory part number and then called Summit Racing. They sell the same unit for about $375.00...........way better price than from MSA.
