Av8ferg Posted March 9, 2020 Author Share #73 Posted March 9, 2020 https://komonews.com/news/nation-world/report-software-pushed-boeing-maxs-nose-down-4-times-before-crashYou got to be willing to turn off automation as soon as the jet does something unexpected. Happens to me all the time. The MCAS system is faulty and late reaction by aircrew can put the aircraft in an unrecoverable attitude. Boeing screwed up by only putting one instrument that feed the MCAS. Should be redundant and they took the cheap route. Lastly they failed to inform the buyers how the system works.

Av8ferg Posted March 9, 2020 Author Share #74 Posted March 9, 2020 So I’ve got a bunch of parts ready to order for this distributor. I’ve never heard of these two sites but they have the parts coming from Japanhttps://www.megazip.net/zapchasti-dlya-avtomobilej/nissan/280zx-2130/s130-6259/s130-182367/distributor-2307135$20 shipping for Japan in 7 days. Also found a new magnet for $9.86 plus $7.84 shipping from Japan on amayama.comhttps://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/22158s6700Total: $74.25 - stator # 22163-Q1700- magnet assy # 22158-S6700- signal rotor assy # 22115-Q1700- coupling (plastic tip) #22119-W0400Do you think these will be all I need for this rebuild?

Zed Head Posted March 9, 2020 Share #75 Posted March 9, 2020 Probably. It probably works now, those parts will make it better. I'm not an expert, I make my stuff work right, but can't say that it's "rebuilt". The guy with the parts in hand has the best feel for what's needed. Look through 246's writeup and see if you're missing anything. @240260280 http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/distributorrebuild/index.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siteunseen Posted March 9, 2020 Share #76 Posted March 9, 2020 What are you going to do with the alternator? Do our '77s need adapters for the ZX alternators? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240260280 Posted March 9, 2020 Share #77 Posted March 9, 2020 I've refreshed many with success. If you have a few for parts to choose from then you are in a good place to take the best from all to make one good unit. As you have already disassembled some, you are 1/2 way there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, with the parts I’ve ordered I think I can pull this off. Anyone know what kind of grease Blue was using in the rebuild write up? Looked green. I need to get some and the auto parts stores sell only wheel grease. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks!Do you mean become of the lack of a built in voltage regulator?

240260280 Posted March 10, 2020 Share #80 Posted March 10, 2020 The grease used was general purpose wheel bearing grease from Canadian Tire. Lucas Red "n" Tacky or Wurth SIG 3000 are good to have in your garage. Just make sure all moving parts are sliding smoothly, especially the vac advance parts. Also ensure the two springs are in good shape. Some rust and fail. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ZX one in a '77 instructions below thanks to "Blue" @240260280. And from your other post that Red and tacky by Lucas is my favorite. I use a grease gun though so I've never bought any in a tub but I assume they have it? http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/alternatorswap/index.html Edited March 10, 2020 by siteunseen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Av8ferg Posted March 11, 2020 Author Share #82 Posted March 11, 2020 This has been and educational discussion. After much review I’m really liking the idea of the GM HEI approach. 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.

Av8ferg Posted March 11, 2020 Author Share #83 Posted March 11, 2020 Spent the last two days in Panama for work. No junkyards with Zs here and I still have my kidneys . Headed home, to rebuild that distributor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
