CNIXZGO Posted February 9, 2009 Share #1 Posted February 9, 2009 I have searched on this subject but never really saw a solid answer. I need to switch to electronic ignition on my 1972 240Z , it has automatic transmission. Can i use the XR700 for this Z even if it has dual points or will I run into complications? Also, will my tach no longer work if I install this system? I've heard it will no longer work. And, lastly, do I need to upgrade the stock coil if I use the XR700? Any help would be greatly appreciated!Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNIXZGO Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share #2 Posted February 13, 2009 OK it looks like the XR700 will work with the 240Z whether it's MT or AT. I was thinking about the Pertronix system but that is not compatible at all with an AT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNIXZGO Posted March 14, 2009 Author Share #3 Posted March 14, 2009 Well landing another XR700 looks out of the question. With the demise of crane cams everyone (including MSA) are back ordered or NLA. Thanks to Aaron at MSA he suggested going with the Pertronix system and a new single point Nissan distributor. 125 for the dizzy and 80 for the pertronix and our 240Z runs like a new car!!!If you have a AT like me, youll need to switch to a single point dizzy and install the Pertronix. not hard at all. Also added new NGK wires to go with the NGK plugs!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
