Seems low cost, highly effective and easy to do. I’ve found there are tons of them online from various manufacturers. Does anyone have an idea which is a quality on. Read the GM (ACDelco) is a good one and it’s only $29 on Amazon. My question is as long as it a 4 pin HEI we should be good. Will put a spare in the glove box. AC Delco would be good. Watch out for counterfeits though. I'd buy from Rockauto, I think. If you rebuild your ZX distributor you could use a GM module but the ZX module has the same features. Current-limiting and high energy. I don't know about the brands available though for the ZX modules.

March 12, 20205 yr Author comment_594139 I’ll be back next week... wash rinse repeat. So maybe I see how my e12-92 works before doing the mod if there’s no benefit. Got an email from megazip.com. Two parts staton and reluctor are no longer available. Back on the hunt.

Travel bans are needed unfortunately.... a month and a half too late but we have to deal with Mainland China's gift to the world. The whore has given the Johns the dose it seems. A land of gangsters oppressing its people to slavery yet the world signed up to this immoral trade to save costs.... now the shoe drops....currently the supply chain has stopped and critical materials and products are held by Mainland China.... such as a key ingredient for drugs and even a key ingredient for the Wuhan-Virus test kits. The pain of the junky when the pusher runs out is nothing compared to what will soon happen. Mainland China just ****ed the whole planet. Good thing they did not have enough time to mix the Ebola virus into the batch (which they secretly stole from a Canadian Level 4 Lab less than a year ago and brought to their Wuhan Lab.....for helping Africa??? or a Bio-Weapon??? One guess). https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/ebola-henipah-china-1.5232674 Edited March 12, 20205 yr by 240260280 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/63629-hitachi-280zx-distributors/?&page=8#findComment-594154 Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the fiscal bottom line, quarterly profits, and stock value drive decisions of company executives these things happen. We’ve sent critical industries supply chain shipped to a corrupt, regime where humans have no value other than their economic contribution. We look the other way as consumers. They’re cheaters in just about every way. Hopefully this pandemic teaches all of us a lesson.

March 12, 20205 yr comment_594182 I have an old junkyard that has quite a few left too. Story is the owners daughter drove them around like go-karts when she was a kid so he bought all he could and got them running for her to trash around.

Did you get a ZX or 280Z distributor? I did get a ZX distributor/. Picked the one that had the least rust. Post removal inspection makes me think it’s a reman but the parts I need looked good. The module doesn’t have any numbers so it been changed.
