79-83 280zx Distributor Repair Kit
 
Greeting everyone. I rebuilt my distributor from my 1981 280zx. When I took it I took it apart guess what I found, yep the plastic bearing holder had broken and the bearing were in the bottom of the distributor. I sourced a good distributor and removed the plastic bearing holder and sent it to an engineering firm that specializes is plastic molding/printing and had them redesign/reinforce the weak spots in the bearing holder and I have had a small batch of them produced. I have sourced proper size replacement bearings and I have even found a small stash of pickup coil magnets! These also have a tendency to break and fall apart too. I know that I am not going to get rich selling these, but I would like to re-coupe my investment and help other Z fans. The vacuum advance is not a start/no-start kind of part, but does make your engine run much better at partial throttle and better acceleration at part throttle.
The breaker plate comes apart pretty easy, but pay attention and take pictures. You cant install the distributor backwards (180° off) but you can re-assemble the distributor incorrect and the rotor will be 180° off.
$25.00 for the bearing holder and 3 new bearings. The new pickup magnet is an extra 30.00 (very limited number of these available) The price includes shipping to the lower 48. Send me a PM and I will send you my paypal info.
