steve g Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Ok so my z24 2.6 stroker is ready for the final goodies! My truck is an 84 4x4 and i converted it to a Z24i system about 3 years ago. Now moving on to a new motor i want to simplify tuning by going to a fuel delivery system i know very well. Im going run a Weber DGV. So here are my questions... - Anyone have a good connection for a "real" DGV kit for the 720s? NO ebay please. - what Dizzy can i use that is easy to wire up and wont need an ECU? - Anyone able to draw up a wiring diagram for the dizzy they suggest? -How to wire up the factory tach to this system? - what fuel pump works good for this? I want to run the entire system as "stand alone" meaning no computer of any kind. Any advice is strongly appreciated Thanks , Steve Quote Link to comment
benzo Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 just some thoughts or ideas If you want a weber call pierce manifolds in Gilroy. would you think or looked at maybe adapting a holley to your motor since it is pretty big displacement wise like maybe a Holley 380 cfm carb. couldn't you use a Lseries style matchbox dist? wouldn't that work without any ecu? If you are going to carbureted I have seen some use a carter electric fuel pump. question? was your truck fuel injected to begin with? if so would the efi and manifold work for the new motor? if so why would you not want to keep that to run the new motor? just asking as I am not sure about the specs of what you have but would like to help with ideas Quote Link to comment

Pertronix or someone make setup that will adapt to a points system? Hmmmm.... My truck began life as a carbed truck but since i had done about 3 TBI swaps on 720s i figured i would do mine.... plus i used to do snow runs in 20 degree weather and it was nice to have. Well now i live in San Francisco where snow runs happen about once every 300 years and i dont like the lack of tuning that the Electro-injection offers. Plus parts are getting scarce and im having problems with idling rich and nobody seems to be able to solve it. I love the DGV i ran one in my 22r 4x4 toyota and had amazing results.

bigjoe619 Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 put a pair of side drafts on it and call it a day.. i have a cannon manifold for 130 shipped, are you running 8 plugs or 4? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 The Z24 were all dual plugs. Just get any Z22/24 dizzy. Try Sealick. How did you achieve a 2.6 motor? Quote Link to comment
bigjoe619 Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 i have a dizzey for a z 24 hit me up Quote Link to comment
hang_510 Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 How did you achieve a 2.6 motor? YEAH! i might be able to do that to mine before the rebuild :D Quote Link to comment
benzo Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 where in san francisco are you? i believe I saw a post you are near mission and silver? I am in Ingleside near City College. Quote Link to comment
steve g Posted November 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 ok... thanks everyone.... i think i will pass on the sidedrafts because i need some torque.. Also how can i wire up a z22/z24 dizzy ? What crazy little boxes and igniters do i need? eh? im talking a bit toyota here but i need assistance. Benzo-As for where i live.... i have never given specifics but i would make a safe bet we get gas at the same station:) Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 (edited) There's only 3 wires to it. The dual module is under the rotor. Simple as shit to use. Pretty sure the efi coils can't be used with this but no biggie any EI coils will do. Edited November 10, 2009 by datzenmike Quote Link to comment
steve g Posted November 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 There's only 3 wires to it. The dual module is under the rotor. Simple as shit to use. Let me rephrase this.... when i go to the wrecking yard and remove the dizzy and the wiring junk that ties it to the coils that are attached to a wiring harness that i will be cutting in half.... it will be self explanitory?:confused: Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Power from the ignition to both positive terminals of the coils and to the Brown wire going to the dizzy. The other two wires from the dizzy (Red and White/Blue) go to the negative coil terminals... that's it. Quote Link to comment
steve g Posted November 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 now thats what im looking for.... thanks! Quote Link to comment
bigjoe619 Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 i had to run 2 coils i still have them and the dizzey for $60 plus shipping Quote Link to comment
steve g Posted November 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 The Z24 were all dual plugs. Just get any Z22/24 dizzy. Try Sealick. How did you achieve a 2.6 motor? The crank rod journal was offset (i will post exact #s later) and a slight amount of metal was added to the thrust part of the rod journal surface. A mitsubishi rod is used to compensate the stroke by being slightly shorter than a stock z24 rod and the mitsubishi rod journal is the new crank journal size. Stock z24 pistons are used with some machine work. when i have some time i will post all specs. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Steve, did you and I discuss this recently? Welding the crank? Quote Link to comment

steve g Posted November 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 I must have oldtimers disease. Nah. you just have too much datsun info in your brain... Quote Link to comment
Dime Dave Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Steve G, You teased us with the promise of specs on your engine build, any chance of giving up the details of your Z26 stroker? Quote Link to comment
