RTB Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Pretty much all L series parts are interchangeable. Quote Link to comment
EastBay521 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 do you have one of the valve covers that say 1800? ive only heard of them never actually seen one Quote Link to comment
RTB Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 No only a 1600. I've never seen a 1800 valve cover. The finned 1600 ones are getting rarer now. Quote Link to comment
DanielC Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Your best distributor swap is a matchbox distributor. I see no reason to change a 42 year old point distributor for a 39 year old point distributor. Quote Link to comment
jimmy billy Posted January 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Na mine says nisan on it :-( id love to have the one that says datsun at least. And i got two diz's when i got my car. They were in a box with the front half of the wire harness. Ones points and the other in eletronic. So im going with the eletronic one. Now when you say (matchbox) are you talkin about the eletronic diz??? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 There were two 'styles' of EI distributors. Early ones had a remote mounted box about the size of a large pack of cigs and mounted under the dash. '79s and up were reduced to 'matchbox' size and mounted on the side of the distributor.

banzai510(hainz) Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 all L series distributor will fit bu the mnounts needs to match otherwise uyour timming will not be in the correct spot. L16 usually only fit L16 dizzys. L18 20 might work or coul be a 15 degs off or so. Quote Link to comment
jimmy billy Posted January 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Ahh ok Quote Link to comment
68Datsun510 Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Pretty much all L series parts are interchangeable. So long as you only mix 4 cylinder parts with a 4 cylinder and 6 with 6 =P Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Most L-series six and four parts interchange. Quote Link to comment
68Datsun510 Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 The initial post was about valve covers and distributors, might be problematic if he got the wrong idea =) Quote Link to comment
