Datsun 2407 12V EtectroittC Ignition Distributor Installation Instructions

If you choose to not follow these detailed instructions, at a minimum, don't overlook the following; items:
1. Set the timing to the new spec, which may be different from the original spec, (new spec; is 18 degrees BTDC at 650 rpm)
2 Install a 12 volt electronic ignition coil
3. Change the spark plug gap to the new spec (0.039"-0,043"),
4. Bypass or remove the ballast resistor from the ignition circuit
The nomenclature used in this manual is consistent with Nissan's There is a diagram with part descriptions at the end of this document that you may need to refer to, in order to understand part descriptions.
With this upgrade, there will never he a need to adjust or replace points again. High engine rpm performance will improve because points bounce will be non-existent- Alter setting the timing, it remains unchanged It's a completely self-contained distributor with a simple 2 wire hook-up to the coil.
This distributor is built to produce 17" of centrifugal advance at the crankshaft. Compared to the distributors for emissions equipped 240Z's, the non-smog advance allows the 240Z engine to run much better and helps prevent ignition-related overheating problems. Also included at the end is a troubleshooting section for the electrical components of lite Lil distributor.
For best performance and to gel the full benefit of the electronic distributor, a 12-volt coil must be installed and the ballast resistor should be permanently bypassed. With the ballast resistor removed from the circuit, a 12-volt signal is send lo the primary windings of the coil. The original 6-volt coil will bum out if subjected to a 12-voll signal. The 12-volt Nissan coil from cars with this distributor is proven and recommended. The Nissan part W is 22433417500 and its list price is $-10 to $50.
