Are parts available for the 280zx electronic distributor in the US? There is very little here in the UK. I'm mainly after the internal magnet.

Black Dragon might have it,

OR, a Nissan dealership!

(hangs head in shame) ... ya i missed that one.

OR, a Nissan dealership!

I ordered the part from the dealership several years ago and got the reluctor ring, but there was no magnet attached to it. You could make your own with some of that flexible vinyl magnetic stuff that they make magnetic signs with.

bought all the internals from Nissan a few years ago. If I remember correctly the part comes as an assembly # 22229

This is the pickup coil . Hope this helps. Gary

If you cannot order it from there let me know and I will see what I can do. Gary
