Petronix ignition install for 240Z

[xray]

Like I said before, some people do fine, some folks have problems. Searching on hybridz and zcar.com shows folks having some problems with wiring. I suspect they may be using a turbo L28 distributor in an NA application or had issues with MSD or other aftermarket ignition components..

I'm glad you've had no problems--I'm just pointing out the need to be cautious. Not sure where the harm is in that.

Pertronix costs what--$80 or so? Using the E12-80 costs you (1) the core, (2) possible rebuild of the distributor itself (3) possible replacement of the IC module (4) possible wiring hassle. Choice is up to you, obviously, but be aware that the swap is not without its issues.

The pictured dizzy has the support attached. It will bolt right up to your 240. Dont forget to check the vacuum diaphragm for leaks. The module has two wiring connectors, one for +12 volts and the other to the coil - terminal. Do a search if you need more details.

Good Luck
