1990 240SX Distributor Question

[Vegascorbin]

I know that the 90 240 used both Hitachi and Mitsubisi Distributors and that the caps are NOT interchangeable.

Are they interchangeable as a complete unit? Can I get a Hitachi dizy to replace a Mitsu dizy?

Why were two types used and what are the differances. would I want one over the other?

im not shure about this man...but shouldent the cap/roter be universal?..its not like the average guy knows off hand who makes his dizzy when he goes and buys parts..i have a 94 ka24de with a mitso dizzy ...if ya want to compare it to yours ..im local in vegas..southernhilands area..just let me know.

Thanks but I also have a Mitsu Dizzy.

I know the cap and rotor are differant as I got the wrong one once before I knew they used two differant ones.

Is this a US and others thing or what?

I am in the Silverado Ranch area. we should meet some day and talk 240's.

i have the same issue with the same car. im in the process of buying the car but im messing with it figuring out the issues so i can get a deal on it. i found the oem part #'s for the mitsu and hita dist's end in F00 for mits and F10 for hita but i cant find the part # on the dist.

sorry to partially hijack the thread but its a similar question. location of the part# on the dist?

sweet, thank you, ill check for it tomorrow. i need to make sure i have the right cap and rotor but as it stands now theres a cylinder 4 misfire which appears to be fuel related. im hoping its nothing internal, although im sure the ka is MUCH simple than the S52 in my M3, that thing is a monster to work on.

as far as i know the dizzy isnt interchangable and the rotor buttuns and caps wont work on the other models i just had to work that prob out with my 89 as for the part # it is on the top of the dizzy by the motor can be a pain to see sometimes hope i helped atleast some
