Posted December 15, 201410 yr comment_460379 Hi all.I bought a L28 motor from the late great John Williams, and I am getting ready to install it, but I decided to do all those upgrades that I would want to do later, while it is still on the stand. I bought a ZX distributor yesterday, but when I went to install it, I didn't see any way to secure it to the front cover. Are all front covers the same on the L-series? I will take pics tonight and add them, but I had a dead moment at work to get the ball rolling.I'd rather sound like an idiot and get the problem solved than keep my pride and never find the answer.Curtis72L28/E31 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/50606-front-coverdizzy-hold-down/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
December 15, 201410 yr comment_460380 Look at this and you'll see the mounts are different.  You'll need a ZX mount. http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/distributor/index.html Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/50606-front-coverdizzy-hold-down/#findComment-460380 Share on other sites More sharing options...

December 15, 201410 yr comment_460387 I'm in Northeast Alabama, Etowah County, 2 hours from the ATL either way.  I-20 or 411 to I-75, better scenery on 411 to Cartersville.  That ZX swap really woke my 240 up, the points were all screwed up and I know nothing about setting points.  I bought a Crane PS 20 coil from amazon.com, the ZX dizzy needs the ZX coil and that Crane has the 1.5 OHMS, same as the ZX coil.  Very happy with my set up.

December 16, 201410 yr Author comment_460417 Too late, Metal. I ordered one from Arizona Z. If it is bad, or they end up not having, I'll send you a message. I am northwest of Atlanta, though.

December 16, 201410 yr comment_460426 Does that part show up on the Arizona Z Car web site or do you have to call them? Â I tried to find it but the AZC site is kind of a mess. Â There's someone on another forum looking for one.
