Recently I swapped motors in my 240z. Long and short of it is I cant get spark from the l28's distributor but when I stick my 240z's pertronix equipped distributor on the car sparks and runs. I know the l28 ran in the car we pulled it from but for whatever reason it didnt want to spark at all in my car. We changed nothing but the distributors/brackets between the pair of motors. Is there going to be an issue running this distributor on the car?

The Pertronix unit has an ignition module built in. The 280Z distributor has an external ignition module, up by the fuse box, in the cabin. You can use a GM HEI module if you don't have the stock Nissan module. The 280ZX distributor has its ignition module mounted on the distributor, the small black box on its side.

What kind of L28 distributor are you using?

Honestly not sure, I pulled it off and stuck the l24/pertronix unit in its place. I assume that shouldnt change anything since its basically the same motor, just larger?

Yes, but different parts. The parts work together to produce spark.
