Pertronix Ignitor 1761 installation to '72 240z factory dizzy

Featured Replies

Just got Pertronix Ignitor 1761 and try to install onto my '72 240z factory dizzy.

I try to follow other thread "Pertronix Ignitor 1761 install and coil evaluation", but when I open up my dizzy, it looks different from 280zx dizzy.

I could not figure out which wire I should remove.

Could someone give me an advice?

Thanks,

That looks like a auto trans dizzy (dual point), you need one from a manual trans car.

Zforce,

Bingo! My '72 240z is currently automatic. I got 5speed 71B from '78 280z to swap it later.

I did not know automatic and manual transmission has different dizzy.

Thank you so much to identify this.

By the way, do you have any idea if I change dizzy to manual one and install this "Pertronix Ignitor 1761" will works with automatic transmission?

Regards,
