L28 distributor

[phillay]

Hi guys

 

I am about to put in an L28 into my z, just planning and making preparations with replacing parts whilst the engine is out etc, one of the things that looked different is the distributor that came with the motor I got. I don't have a picture at the moment but it's a hitachi one (I can see the logo) has a vacuum advance thing on the side, and 2 wires coming out from inside where the spinning thing is located. It doesn't have a small black plastic module thing that you would usually see with the eletronic L28 dist. It's not a petronix converted one, and it's not a points one (I had point not long ago and sold it to retro z) There is a black and red wire I think coming out on the side.

 

Do I just hook these wires to the coil?

 

thanks

P.s I did do some research and there was a page that mentions how there are 3 types of dizzy and I've got the first one I think, it fits the descriptions but I wanted to make sure and also ask how would I wire this up ?

Sounds like it's an electronic distributor but it's missing the black module on the side.

 

Can you take a photo of it without the distributor cap on? I am pretty sure we can identify it that way.

it was of a (very well) running car before I took the motor out. the module is not missing, it looks like it just never had one. will take a pic tonight. I am looking at the old loom and spare parts and there's no ignitor or anything like that as well.

Some of the dizzies had a remote module. You can not connect that dizzy you have directly to the coil.

 

You have a few options.

 

1) Find an OEM module and mount it somewhere.

 

2) Use a GM Ignition Control Module (or similar) to be the igniter.

 

3) use an MSD (or similar) ignition box that has a magnetic input.

the motor had an efi setup and had a ems stinger 4424 ecu wired to it I think it was connected to that.

so I can buy a MSD6AL and hook it up to that?
