What is the official name of this plate and where can I buy one

[Moto]

I bought a 240z with a 280Z engine. It came with a points style dizzy. This plate is warped and not letting the dizzy sit correctly on the dizzy shaft.

Where can I buy one? Substitute another part? ANYTHING!!! The weekend is almost upon us and my Z is dead. Does MSA have this part?

Thanks in advance.

It's called a breaker plate

Check with Courtesy Nissan parts department. I don't know if this part is sold separately or if you will have to find a new or used distributor to get it. jlp

Nope. That's a distributor mount plate. The breaker plate is inside the distributor where the points mount. Doubt that MSA would have one. That part shows as 'not for sale' in the parts microfiche. Your best bet might be that one of the members here has one. Edited May 13, 2011 by sblake01

Aren't there any junk yards near by? You are in SoCal, center of the scrap Z universe.

I have spent the past two days going through junk yards. When you find Zs they are missing the dizzy and the SUs. Just the dizzy on the 260Zs.

I'm not sure which of your answers was the least useful....... Edited May 13, 2011 by sblake01

What am I missing here? It's warped but how? And why can't you flatten it back out, looks like a flat piece of steel to me. Hit it with a big hammer! After all its already warped and needs to be replaced. Heat it up red hot and flatten.
