Posted February 12, 20169 yr comment_486403 I haven't seen any solid directions on what resistance coil to use when running a 240/260z with the 280zx E12-80 distributor upgrade. I read some stuff that said to use a 3.5 ohm coil since the ballast resistor was gone, but then other forum members recommending a 1.5 ohm unit. Regardless of speed part recommendation, what resistance coil should be used?

February 12, 20169 yr comment_486404 Nissan spec'ed 0.84 to 1.02 ohms for the ZX system. I'm a big fan of using the factory spec's if they do the job. They also spec'ed .039 to .043" plug gap with that set of parts.

February 13, 20169 yr comment_486425 Just head down to the parts store and order a coil for the zx and you should get the right ohm coil. Ordered a coil from Autozone I think, Durajunk, worked great. Ran my plugs at .040 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/53286-what-coil-resistance-to-run-with-zx-dizzy-upgrade/#findComment-486425 Share on other sites More sharing options...
