helopilot Posted June 6, 2005 Share #1 Posted June 6, 2005 After reading a bunch of post I want to put a 280zx dist in my 72 240. I called the local junk yards and no joy. Anybody recomend a good place to pick one up. I am watching one on Ebay but looking for other options.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Eye Posted June 7, 2005 Share #2 Posted June 7, 2005 I had my 280ZX dizzy rebuilt by Kim Blough at Idaho Z. I bet he has some. You can reach him at 1-208-466-0004. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwcubsman Posted June 7, 2005 Share #3 Posted June 7, 2005 I recently bought one from Danny's Datsuns. I'm sure he has many more. I bought some other items as well and when I was cleaning them up, I realized that a carb heat shield wasn't up to my standard. Danny rushed me out another no problem. He was really good to deal with AND he stands behind his parts. You may look into a tachometer from a "75 or so. I understand that the "72 tach will not work with the newer distributor. Many threads on the subject I'm sure. Danny's Datsuns: 541-430-1180, Sutherlin, Oregon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor Laury Posted June 7, 2005 Share #4 Posted June 7, 2005 I wouldn't just slap one on from a JY, many of those are just worn out. A ZX Dizzy with shaft play is worse than a good points dizzy. Mine was built by Gary Boone, who builds EI dizzys for the roadsters and Z's. Not only is it rebuilt, he also tailors the advance curve.Info and contact at http://www.nowroc.com/Webpages/Techtips/ElDizzy.htmIt works fine with my stock 72 tach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
