Gav240z

It's important to note that in AUS we got points distributors with all 240z's and 260z's up to 77 I believe. We never got the 280z with fuel injection. So our Z's had the points dizzy(distributor) and boat anchor carbs till 77. When the ZX appeared we got the electronic one. THanks.

Ain't nothing dirty about anything I seen here so far .

I put my money on the points. If not the points it's probably a capacitor of some sort . The points is inside the distributor u can move them with your finger apart and let go and they snap back together. Newer distributors on fuel injected Z's were electronic and did not need points. They have two circular tips on arms. Refer to the Haynes manual on setting the gap. I bet they fused together from what he's explained. Gav,
