1981 280zx Ignitor

Does anyone where you can buy an ignitor? I have tried searching, checked Pep Boys, Autozone, Advance Auto, etc... I am looking for the one that mounts on the coil bracket. I am in the process of finishing up a repair job (for my son) that somebody else started and I do not have the ignitor. Just my luck! I have power to the coil but no spark at plugs, I believe the ignitor should solve the problem. Thanks in advance.

The only one that mounts on the coil bracket is for the turbo model.

Is yours a 280zx TURBO?

So you mean this?



It should be located on the side of the distributor if yours is a non-turbo. It's called a "Transistor ignition unit" by Nissan (click: http://nissan4u.com/parts/280zx/us_s...l/distributor/ )
