optical dizzy pickup?

Featured Replies

gday guys,

does anybody know if the 280zx used a 360 degree optical pickup in its distributer?

or any other car that uses an optical timing sensor in its dizzy that might bolt into an L series engine?

The L28ET & L20AET use 360-deg with a seperate home trigger.

Not sure how much a new dizzy is, but the rotor button was only $14 when I picked one up last month.

Bingo. Thanks Ben, i need it to run my fuel injection in sequential mode. with the home sensor being seperate how does this work?is it still in the dizzy or does it run off something else?

There is an article on the 280Z build up in the new issue of Sport Z. They are using the distributor out of an 82-83ZX Turbo because it does have the 360 degree optical trigger...and it has 6 windows for the cam signal.

Now they also changed it with one from www.autronic.com as they were having trouble with it having too much resolution to work with their aftermarket ECU... which sounds like it's going to be a wild set up when they get it done...
