Breaker plate no longer available?

[rcb280z]

Need a breaker plate for my 77 280 distributor and can't seem to locate one. I'm seeing it's possible they are discontinued. Anyone have any luck or know where I can find one? MSA, Zcarsource don't have them either. Thanks.

Really, I'm the only one? Hmm.

Have you tryed Courtesy Nissan? If anyone can find parts, they are generally the best shot.

I have a few 280 dizzies that are going to be raped for their VR sensors so the guts are going to be available. Surely one of the ones I have has a decent breaker plate. Drop me a note to z240@shaw.ca and I'll send pics.

EuroDat, I did and they can't supply it.

zKars, email sent.

I am afraid this will only get worse. Your lucky your in the states, the Zeds were more popular there.

I picked up a battery yesterday. Mine finnally gave up after 10 years. I asked for a battery to suit a Datsun 280Z at the only aftermarket shop in our town and he said: Is that a Dacia? I thought he was joking, but he was serious, he had never heard of a datsun.....

Luckly I took the top support so I could search through his stock for the biggest one that would fit.

Amazing isn't it Chas?! I got the hook up from zKars, one of the CZCC members.

Try the Philbin Group in Portland Oregon. They build all of our distributors.

Thanks Bruce, I will keep that in mind. After I get the one from zKars I might send mine in that is defective.

Philbin is one of those unsung resources for the sport that everyone should have on file. They do a super job on distributors and I still don't understand how they can do all that thay do for the price they charge.
