RIVRON Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 Have a new in the box Datsun part no 22100-U6001 distributor but I can't get the pertronix magnet ring to slide down far enough on the distributor lobe shaft and there is no hole in the housing the right size for the wire grommet. I see no way to do it. I don;t remember where I got the distributor and may be incorrect. Any info or a source for new Hitachi would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment
Crashtd420 Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 Is it a dual points or single points dizzy? Petronix only fit the single... 1 Quote Link to comment

racerx Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 I think that distributor is for an L18 and 72 and up meaning dual points. Google the part number. Single points were 68-69 years. 1 Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 this distributor have a matching mount? willit mount to a L16 510? you have to many varibles that we are guessing. If magnet ring prevents the Pertr Mag ring to go on the point lobe it most like a L20b dist. Which can work if one machines the ring FLUSH to the dist shaft.. send photo. of what exactly you have going from and going to NEWER set up. L16 dist mounts don't fit the L20b dist set up unless you get the correct set up. L16 single point 68-69 I had a Mitshbishi dist and also L20b dist fit the Pertronix Pertronix is a point conversionjust use the stock coil and ballast as what you have. 2 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 Dual points were fazed out in late '73 The L18 610 had the 22100-U6001 single points to the end of July '73. The L20B was used from Aug '73 on also with single points 22100-U6001 distributor. The '74 model year 610 is the earliest use of the L20B by Nissan The L18 710 used the single points 22100-U6001 distributor through '74. Then switched to L20B with single points The L16 620 used a dual points distributor through Sept '73 switching to an L18 22100-U6001 single points distributor till Aug '74. Then switching to an L20B with single points Quote Link to comment

Ring red arrow ,,,, needs to be machined down to shaft (blue) arrow for pickup to go all the way down. OR just small enough to fit the Pertronix ring on, I can't remember if there is a tiny step,, measure inside diameter of Pertronix ring to make sure a neighborhood garage/grandpa machinist might do it for as little as $20. These are soft metal and very easy setup in lathe I have seen people use a drill press and a sharp metal file if you are brave enough... Or cheap enough,, :rofl: it just takes quite awhile . 2 Quote Link to comment
jbirds510 Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 Autozone is selling the matchbox distributors last I checked. Might also be an alternative option. Quote Link to comment
