Distributor


Recommended Posts

Hey all,

 

So got the truck running again after the broken bolt. I was cruising parts in eBay and found a distributor. I bought it cause the title of the image said 80-81 720. I was half asleep when I bought it. Woke up this morning to look at it since it delivered and eBay says it won't fit my truck. I am curious cause it looks exactly like the one I have now. Here it is. I have  1980 720 with the L20B

They have a return policy but I swear its the same one currently. The one I have is just rusted to all hell and I can def use a new one

If I’m not mistaken, that’s for a z20 or 22.

Show a picture of what you’re talking about, because isn’t it primarily aluminum?

The one you bough might still work if its identical to what's on your truck....  

The electronics are different but the drive looks the same...

I think one uses a remote hei unit and the other has the box on the distributor...

Does the your distributor have the same internals as the one you bought?

Yes they look identical that's why I'm confused. I'll take a picture when I get home from work

How many plug wires on the cap[??????????

 

'80-'81 A10 (HL510) had the Z20S engines and used pretty much the same 4 spark plug distributor as the '79 matchbox. However the '80 California was 8 plug. For '81 ALL were 8 plug so Cardone is....

Same with the S110 (200sx) as above. '80s were 4 plug and 8 plug if California. ALL changed to 8 plug for '81 and on. Wrong again Cardone.

If four plug it will work only on the '80 720. '81 720s were all 8 plug.

Technically 5 but 4 if you disregard the cap that goes to the ignition coil.

That's a '79 620, S10 200sx, A10 HL510 or '80 720 L20B distributor with E12-80 matchbox module . If you read me the part number stamped into the side I can identify what it's off of. It starts 22100-?????

Its off of my 1980 720 l20B engine. I'd assume its stock as everything else on the truck was stock. The number is as following;

DK48-08 0602

22100-B9802

The one from Cardone?

It doesn't come with a cap it was just the distributor

 

I see on the eBay that it is for the following 

 

Nissan
  • 81 200SX Base Electronic Distributor
  • 80 200SX Base with California Emissions System, Electronic Distributor
  • 81 510 Base Electronic Distributor
  • 80 510 Base with California Emissions System, Electronic Distributor
  • 81 720 (submodel: Base, Deluxe) Electronic Distributor

 

I'm gonna go ahead assume its the wrong part. I'm looking for the right one but seems cardone has discontinued it.

If for '80 California emissions then it's a Z20 with 8 plug so yeah no good.

There are '80 federal 4 plug Z20 distributors that are virtually the same as the L series matchbox. There's even one on the 210 which has a drive gear on the bottom. The roll pin is removed to get the gear off and an L series collar installed. They are out there.
