Pertronix Conv. Kit for 73' 620?

[Fuelrags]

Hey Guys, Is there a Pertronix Conversion kit for the 73' 620???,I found an ad for one in a magazine,but they only list from 74'- on? is this an error or am I 'S.O.L.'? THX!

Im not an expert but those kits should fit any 4 cyl. L motor. Now im not sure if yours is a dual point dist. & theres a chance it may not work if it is. Hainz & or Datsunmike will know the answer. A cheaper way to convert to electronic ignition is to score a matchbox off a Datsun at a junkyard & then it's just a matter of splicing a few wires. In fact they fit into big pockets quite easily ;)

It won't work on a dual point distro if that's what you have (very likely).

You need single point for Pertronix.

And it's part number # 1741

Matchbox type dizzy are hard to come by in the JY.

Let alone older Datsuns

The Pertronix only fits the single point dist, and pretty much all 1970-73 Datsuns had dual point stock. The Pertronix fits the 68-69 single-point dist perfectly, and SOMETIMES fits the '74-75 large-cap single-point. You have to modify the 75-77 L20B dist to make it work- there's a ring boss on the rotor drive spindle that is in the way that must be removed to fit the magnet ring on it.

 

I have seen a dual-point setup made to work with a pertronix, but that involved modifying the pertronix itself, and getting it timed requires a bit more patience.

I have a distributor already converted over to pertronix that I could give up for the righ price. PM me if you are interested.
