Up for sale is a new, (rebuilt), distributor for a 280ZX.  I initially purchased this distributor in order to convert my 240Z to electronic ignition. 

This distributor has never been used.  It includes a new distributor cap and rotor. Also, the mounting attachments are provided. 

Price: $150.00 plus shipping.

Item sold.

That's a 280ZX distributor, with the module/matchbox.  Not a bad price.  Is the mounting pedestal for a 280ZX or 280Z?

Reman'ed in the USA.  What's the brand?  Looks like a Crown something.

Thanks very much for the correction.... 

Many years ago I purchased this from, https://www.californiadatsun.com/distributors-and-parts/datsun-240z-280z-e12-80-rebuilt-electronic-distributor.html

which in the advert says it's from a 75-78 280Z and the invoice that I have also says it's for a 280Z.  I really don't know and am only going by what info I have.

Do you think I should change it to 280ZX?

Most people will know its a ZX dizzy but you can change your post. Google the 22100-....# and it'll tell you want you need to know.

I would change the title.  Many people want the ZX distributor and module to replace either a bad 280Z ignition module or to swap over from points.  Not many people swap to a 280Z distributer from points.

CA Datsun probably just resold a reman that he bought from Crown or whatever name is on the side of your box there.  Doesn't mean it's bad, just means that he made a markup on it.

Edit - it's a good deal at your price.  Comes with cap and pedestal.  Many don't.  Is there a rotor under that cap?  Plug and play...

Good point Zed Head.

Hmm... this is strange. Half of my post is gone. I went on to explain how I have changed my distributor to a ZX one with great results. I wonder what the heck happened to it.

Probably got ate by an ad...

Did you get rid of your 240 or just decide to stay original?  When I switched to the ZX one it was a big improvement over the OE points one and it was fairly easy to do.  I followed a write up from Blue's Tech Tips.

Good luck with the sale, that's a good price for everything needed but the ZX coil.  Especially after what California Datsun charged you, $350. 

Mine works great with the PerTronix 1.5 coil on my 280.

Siteunseen, 

Thanks for your note...

I would not say that I " got rid " of my Z, rather, I would say I most reluctantly had to part with it as there was no one in my family I could pass it down too.  

However, I have been most fortunate in that the buyer is a great enthusiast of Z's, a heck of a nice guy and we have become good friends.  There's a great element of comfort for me in that. 

Thanks for putting in the details about your conversion and to RCB280Z, in case there is someone out there who may wish to do the same.  It's what makes this site so extremely valuable.......

I have a Flamethrower 1.5 coil, works good too. 

Pretty sure the 240s use 3.0 OHMS?
