Just a shitty day

Shitload of Karma coming your way..... :thumbup: :)

I did it all for the Community! Done it before and I will do it again! You just try to stop me! :ninja:

[Cuts metal like mad]

This ones not forsale. HAHA. Sorry had to. You might have to explain what I mean Pumpkin.

lol, no I was making a reference to all the kids that sell their carsa after getting help to fix them. Like the last one you did.

[Pumpkn210]

Yea, damn kids and thier black 521s! :P

[banzai510(hainz)]

good job pumpkin.

I dont even have a EI coil laying around.

in theroy the other coil and ballast if hooked up correctly should still work just dont get the full spark.Be more like a Pertronix converstion(electric trigger)

 

goin back to my earlier post

1) mismatched parts.

2)when using a matcbox dizzy you need to use a EI coil not the point coil otherwise it can heat up. If you use the matchbox with the point coil you still need the ballast resisitor. just hook the B of matchbox to the + side of the ballast.

 

 

told ya it was a simple fix

[Cuts metal like mad]

The ballast was installed, it never got hot, only slightly waRm.

 

I knew it was either the hei or coil, but I was willing to try anything to fix it. I almost called the local witch doctor! Haha!

[banzai510(hainz)]

Yea I always suggest using the matching coil.

alot of poeple buy or install coil from different vehecles and it throws it off.

But I seen people not run ballast resisitors when they should and sometimes its fine .Glad Pumpkin got it goin for ya. he manages to keep those A series alive but the electrics are the same in those. just use a worn gear drives on the dizzys.

 

just weird the off idle bog was caused by the coil. Almost cant believe it. If it works at the higher RPM I think it would be good. Maybe the coil is masking worn out plugs or something.

But knew your were close to getting it. I couldnt even swap in the coil as I dont use the EI coils myself

[Pumpkn210]

Seems to me that it was asking to much from the coil and it was overheating at low rpms cause it wasnt discharging fast enough! Maby this was cause the old one was internal vs no resistor!

[datsunaholic]

Actually it's not that unusual... running the ballast probably was causing the EI module to have low voltage and poor triggering. They don't work too well at 8V.

[banzai510(hainz)]

in theroy the other coil and ballast if hooked up correctly should still work just dont get the full spark.

 

I seen matchboxes hooked up on the down side of the ballast and still run using the stock point coil/w ballast setup.

 

I figured he had the 12volt source at the HEI (Spliced together) 12v at the ballast inseries with a point coil. Have the hot start right at the coil(down side of ballast).

 

I BET THIS WILL WORK and no EI coil is needed. Am I correct Datsunaholic?

 

 

Im just upset Pumpkin fixed it before I could figure it out!Damn Bosch coils

I'm just glad its working now. Went to PAP today and snagged 3 EI Coils! No dizzys though. $8 for all 3. SCORE

Anyone else looking for EI coil today 0

[Pumpkn210]

Lets remember, the EI he is using is NOT Datsun! Maby this is a reason for the weirdness?

Hey Cuts metal like mad, I'm the dude with the 240z that met you the other night. I stopped by on my way to my bro's house. It was cool talking with you. Wished I had more time to spend that night....

 

I took your advise and signed up over here. Sweet forum. This is my first post after doing some browsing. Good to hear you got the old 521 running. If you're ever around when I go out to my bro's house I'll stop by again if it's cool with you....

 

Peace....

[Cuts metal like mad]

Yeah you bet, stop by anytime. Beat on the door and if I'm there we can shoot the shit. I'll even let you drive the truck so you'll want ont even more

[Z Speed]

I'll do that cuts. Thanks for the offer... :P

[Cuts metal like mad]

I'll do that cuts. Thanks for the offer... :P

 

 

When your ready to do something to that Z let me know if you want an extra hand. I'd be glad to loan you one of mine! :lol:

[Z Speed]

Thanks Cuts, I do that. I'll need all the help I can get. First thing I'd like to do is drop the tank, clean, blow the fuel lines, replace any old rubber, and get her started again. It's been about 10 years since I've started the car. I have a broken trans mount too I believe. I can bottom the tranny out if I push down on the shift lever.... :evil:

 

Sorry for jacking your thread. What's the next thing your going to do with the 521? Let me know if you need any help as well....
