OK... I will not cancel my order but next time I will ask here first

Thanks Blue

Rockauto has both the plugs and the wires.  I don't know about shipping to Greece though.  If you started a new thread about buying parts in Europe, some of the guys from the north would probably have suggestions.

 

You want plugs for a 1980 280ZX.  Rockauto lists all of the important numbers too, which is nice.

Good idea about opening a new threat but I am not very optipistic to find good deals in Europe... I hope I am wrong about this...

New threat now opens in the Europe section

I know the Rockauto store, great prices there

Thanks

Today I received a 280zx dizzy from Rockauto. It is a '82 ZX model, D6K81-01. I didn't know that it is considered as dangerous for S30 engines! Is there any way to recurve the dizzy?

@Walter Moore Any input would be appreciated!! I'm building a L28 stroker right now.. 

Would it not be easier to return it and get one for a '79 ZX?

 

I'm in Europe..so no  Aditionally, RA lists the same part numbers for all ZX cars.. so I could have bad luck and receive the same dizzy again. 

I bought from amazon.com

I put in my vehicle as a '79 ZX and got the one for '79s.

I have good luck apparently. 

Amazon lists one for all, too. Cardone only sells one type, 31-619.

Did you ever check your advance? Or is it possible that the advance curve is stored in the little match box?

If we're talking about the same thing, this stuff confuses me, my weights are stamped 8.5 so advance is 17 degrees and I have verified this with a full advance setting on my timing light.  At 2,500 rpm my light shows 34 while the pointer and pulley are at zero. The numbers stamped on the body of my dizzy are the '79 specs on Mr Moore's spreadsheet.

He was in an accident and lost his 240 so I don't know how involved he is anymore on this forum.  Maybe he'll see you notification and respond?  I've read on Blue's Tech Tips on recurving the dizzy.  Maybe try and google that.

Does you matchbox have two connections, one on top and one to the side.  I think that's the e12-93? or something like that.

No, only the two connections at the top:

I'd keep the current dizzy and just set it up how I want.  You can readily adjsut the mechanical adnavce mechanisms and vacuum advance to your engines specific needs. 

Read Jason Gray's Distributor article.  Most Nissan  electronic distributors have a fully adjustable Vacuum advance Canister. If it has an Epoxy plug on the end of the vacuum can, you can fully adjust the Vacuum advance.

Under the epoxy plug at the end of the Vacuum diaphragm you will find an inner and outer threaded collar that adjusts spring tension and vacuum arm travel length. Shorten the travel until you have about 20 degrees Vacuum advance. Use a Mighty Vac and a Dial Back timing light to adjust.
