Yeah, I rewired a lot of the entire area. Do you have the gm hei? "Do it in a Datsun"

Update: life always finds a way to get in the way of the Z. I was finally able to get to Z to run. First time in 20+ years. The gm hei unit works great. However I'm not getting anything to the tach. I've looked at the wiring diagrams, and seem to have it hooked up correctly. Did anyone else have this issue when doing the gm hei swap? Thanks in advance. "Do it in a Datsun"

Awesome. I'll go pickup a gm hei and wire it in and update y'all. Sent from my [device_name] using http://Classic Zcar Club mobile

I have a msd blaster II coil. Will that work? Sent from my [device_name] using http://Classic Zcar Club mobile

**update*** TIU is shot. Looked at the continuity test and troubleshooting pdf and I'm pretty sure it's fried. Guess I'm going GM HEI. Found them on amazon going for $40-$100. Any recommendation on a specific one? Sent from my [device_name] using http://Classic Zcar Club mobile

That's how I have mine pinned. I did some more wiring and I'm going to test for spark today if my batteries I have on hand aren't dead. Also going to test for continuity beforehand so I don't burn anything up inside the module. If I still don't get continuity or spark, I'm going to go ahead and snag a gm hei unit and start fresh.

I'll get out my multimeter and check continuity tomorrow. Reading into all of this, I think I'm going to go with a gm hei unit instead. So much more info on it, and seems a lot easier to wire up and diagnose compared to the -27.

Okay so it will do the function of the white wire itself? I don't mean to sound ignorant, I'm just brand new to Z's and older cars in general. My oldest car next to this is a 92 prelude

Yes, it shocked the hell out of me, found out the hard way

I will look into doing that. I'm just trying to get spark, haven't gotten spark since I got it. It's been such a nightmare. But mine is the black box, with a 5 pin connector rather than the normal one with wires and rings to connect it.

Alright I'll do some more digging. Thank you guys

I think I may have a single pickup dizzy. From what I saw. How big of an issue is That?

Hey guys, I'm brand new on here. I have a 75 280, and I'm having some issues. As most know, datsun is really weird about switching up their transistor ign modules throughout the years. Mine came with the E12-06, but I had a buddy who had a E12-27 that he'd sell me for cheap, so I grabbed it. However I've run into an issue. The 06 is a 7 pin (non cali), and the 27 is 5 pin, missing a brown and white wire. From what I've seen, the brown is a ground of sorts, but the white goes through the water temp relay to the water temp sensor (I'm assuming to advance/ retard turning when cold or at O.T.) My question is what should I do with the white wire? I may have to manually flip the relay somehow with a switch, but I might not have to. Any input will help!
