I just removed the 79 ZX dizzy that I installed. I realized that the vacuum advance wasn't working right, which was limiting me to about 4,200 rpm's. The plan was just a real good cleaning and put it back together. I thought the advance would work if I just gave it a good cleaning, but....the breaker plate appears to be damaged (all of the ball bearing "carriers" are broken), and the plastic sleeve on the shaft end is broken.

Does anyone sell a rebuild kit for these dizzy's?

Also, the link at atlantic Z for rebuilding these seems to suggest you can get by without the ball bearings if you use lithium lube. Does that sound right?

I have the same Dist. and I did a rebuild 8 years ago on it. I have a drawing showing all the parts and there numbers. I can scan it and send it to you but I don't know how to post it here. Send me a PM with your email address and I will send it to you. If you can buy parts from Nissan at a club discount it is worth it, but paying full retail for all the parts , you might as well save your module and trade the Dist in as a core and buy a rebuilt form a parts store. If all you need is the breaker plate that is different. 8 years ago it was $45.50.
