datsunboy Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 a lot of the datsun guys run a dizzy from a later model version of the same engine......but in the states they don't have as many of them, so a lot of them run a aftermarket kit from a company called " Petronix " ( look it up in a search engine or something ). I am pretty sure that they sell a kit for most old cars to convert to electronic IGN. the kit fits inside your existing distributor, and replaces the points with a wheel with slits cut in it, and a light sensor thingie to trip the transistor unit.

Baxter Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 I'm told an old Accord dizzy can be very easily adapted - ie the toothed wheel from the Escort dizzy can be easly pressed on to the Accord's shaft by a machine shop. Take an Esky dizzy into a japanese car wreckers and see what looks right. And let us know what fits... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jinx Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 aparantly the 2L electronic bosch dizzy from the early (pre85) sierra is a bolt in. Will need regraphing to suit though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jinx Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 To do the ford dizzy is pretty cheap. I picked up a complete system (dizzy, wiring and module) for about $60 from a local wrecker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
