What distributor is this?

Featured Replies

I am the second owner of my car and benefitted from the previous owners extensive relationship with the Datsun Competition catalog. After all these years, I pulled the original motor and put in a Rebello strokes motor. Anyway, someone on Facebook was looking for a stock ‘73 distributor. Given all the mods on my car, I wonder if this is even stock?

Pull off the cap and let us see what's underneath.

 

Hitachi D606-52 was stock European/UK market HS30/HLS30 'Datsun 240Z' distributor. Has 'fast' advance curve, hence sold as 'performance' distributor by Datsun Competition in USA.

It's shown in the 1972 FSM, Engine Electrical chapter.

Thanks! In a lot of ways, my car is a poster child for that catalog. 

It is also the stock one for the 69-70 HLS30-UN.   Conedodger I sent you a pm
