ignition module?
 

Does a 73 240z have an ignition module? I am installing a Crane Fireball ignition that came with the 260 motor I just dropped in. The instruction manual for the ignition references Hitachi and Nippondenso ignitition systems. All the electrical parts I see are labled Hitachi but the shop manual I have makes no mention of an ignition module per se.

I tried firing it up anyway and I think I am getting combustion as I smell exhaust but I forgot about the stale gas in the tank so I did not get it running yet.

anyone?

Thanks,

I've got a 260Z myself and those have transistorized ignition modules located in the passenger's footwell, early models on the firewall and later models on the side kick-panel.

I took a quick look at the 240Z factory service manual and I don't see any evidence of an ignition model. It's "old school" with mechanical points.

I thought as much but just wanted to make sure I did not miss anything. The original motor was still equipped with points.

Thanks!

You checked the factory service manual at XenonS30. (a freebie DL) The elec diags would show components and connections. Other cool docs there too. :icon_keel:

The '73 uses a points dizzy in stock form, so no ignition module to speak of.
