KKtrips Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 So who can give me a rundown on what is required to modify a 2/3/4K dizzy to fit into a carbied 4AGE- searched on Club K and it seems everyone there is too scared to actually do it themselves or not willing to hand out the info.. Surely someone here has done it before.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truenotch Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I've seen it done with a datsun one ... Just get a a 4AGE dizzy gear and a 4k dizzy. Mash them together. Done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Got a free three tee dizzy if ya want it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted September 7, 2010 Author Share Posted September 7, 2010 Yeah the whole "mash it in" doesn't sound right - I believed there was more to it than that.. Simon would that 3T dizzy be a points style/magnetic pickup distributor that would bolt straight in to a 4age and allow simple wiring?

Truenotch Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Mike-e has done one... I think he used a 3A dizzy and went at it from there. He'll find this thread eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted September 7, 2010 Author Share Posted September 7, 2010 Just some ideas to look at tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Will ask Hugo what he had on his 4agc in his corona coupe. If he is not feeling too cool to reply... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted September 7, 2010 Author Share Posted September 7, 2010 Cheers man that would be cool Although looking at those pics it looks pretty straightforward - make a spacer and switching the drive gear over then some method of securing it to the head.. Will just need some measuring done and some nutting out.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike-e Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 yerp. got a dizzy of a 3A and welded the 4ag gear onto the shaft taking note of the timing mark. spins the 3A dizzy backwards, fits into the hole mint too. may still have it some where, will have a look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelies Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 are the 2k/3k/4k dizzies the same at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted September 7, 2010 Author Share Posted September 7, 2010 AFAIK the body (which is the important part for this purpose) is the same - just different internals between magnetic and points and also they are different vacuum advance units depending on the model/emissions standards..

Steelies Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 i have a couple spare k-series dizzies, so can we just bung one in to start with, or will i need to arse around finding vac advance that works with the 4a etc? and can i swap the drive gears non destructively or will i need to find another 4a dizzy to rape? dont want to chop up my current one for experiments sake. one of those retainers looks hokie as, would definitely make same type as in jap advert. or.. spring for a simple ignition computer, keep std 4age dizzy and be done with it?

KKtrips Posted September 7, 2010 Author Share Posted September 7, 2010 pretty sure the gear would be hold on with a roll pin at worst - so it would be non destructive to the A dizzy. K dizzy may suffer somewhat from a touch with the hacksaw.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Before you cut shit wait for mike-e to check out at his parents, he may have that dizzy he used. Which would be electronic if off a 3A? so at least 1 million times better than a 4k probably more aggressive advance too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kritta Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 yep,use 4k dizzy, machine 4k shaft, make sleeve to fit onto 4k shaft, machine sleeve to fit 4age distributor gear, use roll pin to fix...does work, but i ended up buying hyperpak unit, so distributor still looks factory....

Steelies Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 care to give a quick review on hyperpak? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike-e Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 tis just generic aftermarket electronic ignition module, like the hundreds of others on the market. spiffy name though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelies Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 yup chur, but in terms of installation and performance? tbh i'm loathed to fuck around making parts for k series junk when i could just get something with a spiffy name. kinda want to avoid the hours of work hidden in the 'just get this, stick it to that, make one of these and hey presto an old dizzy' that i'll most likely want to throw out immediately!

Steelies Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 hey gang, wiring computer in... say connect red to red from dizzy, white to white from dizzy.... simple! but the red out of the dizzy switches to white at the factory plug and white to red etc. anyone know what they are, which i should go by or does it matter?

Mike-e Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 depending on the shape of the pick up teeth it could potentially matter, but testing each way wont damage the module. if the teeth are symmetrical then it wont matter as the module will only read the trailing edge. if the teeth aren't symmetrical then 1 of the 2 ways you can connect the wires wont have a sharp enough voltage drop off for the module hope thats mildly decipherable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
