There should only be 8 plugs.. 4 on each side I the motor.. And 2 coils like King Rat said.. But I will help out all that I can..

The reason the distributor wire have been cut.. Was cause I cut the plug off since it didn't match the plug on the truck.. And I tried to hook it up any ways.. But after I cut the plug off I realized it had more wire than I could hook up.. I did end up finding a 4 of 84 that had the same amount and colors of the truck that I had.. So I bought it. But the got offered way more than I had in the truck.. So I sold it to the next guy.. But he put the distributor in the truck and it runs very well.. And I see him in it every few days at the store.. And he said that it is a good little truck.. But thanks for y'all's help.. It was just that It needed a earlier model distributor.. From one like mine.. Had to change the oil pump shaft and distributor because they were different..

Well what I have found on line was as long as it was the Z24 it had a carb, But if it was the Z24I it was EFI. But I don't know for shore.. And by looking at the Grease and dirt that is on the motor it don't look like it has ever been pulled a part.. So I don't think someone just throw it together to just get ride of it. An By the numbers on the Dizzy it is from a 1986.5 throw 1989.. Witch matches what the guy said with it coming from a 87 or 88 like he said.. And he seemed like an ok guy he was in his late 50's if I was guessing.. But who knows with people these days.. What I need is some pic's of a 83 or 84 with the Z24 motor to see how the dizzy hooks up and ever thing. And find a dizzy from a 83 or 84 and just try to put it in an hook it up and see what happens.. You know.. Telkwa I am guessing that your 86 don't have the little black box like my 84 does.. Where the Dizzy hooks up..

Sorry about not being on in a few days.. I looked up the numbers on the Distributor and it is from a 1986.5-1989 Nissan D21 Hardbody truck that came with the Z24 4 cylinder engine not the Z24i. And I talked to the guy that I got it from and he just pulled the motor out of a 87 Nissan Pickup and said that he didn't change any thing on it and i asked him if he had the old motor and he said that the truck didn's have a motor when he got it. So It looks like all I may have to do is find a Dizzy from a 83 or 84 Z24 nissan and hook it up to make it run for the most part. Or I am hooping. And from what I have read you could get the Z24 all the way up to 1989 with a carb still on it. If you wanted Fuel Injected then you got the Z24i motor.. With all of the checking that I have done the Z24 and Z24I is the same for a long block 8 plugs the Difference is one has a Carb and the other is Fuel Injected That's the only Difference between the to of them other than bolt on parts that Nissan changed.. Now what I have read is to go from a Z24I to a carb you have to change the Dizzy and the drive gear, But you don't have to pull the timing cover to do this. But IDK for shore. Just what I have read. And these parts are the same for both motors or at lest the hard parts. Long Block 83-90, Oil pump 2.4L 83-04, Timing Cover 83-89, Timing set 83-89,

And the wires come out of the bottom of it rather than the side like yours. It maybe newer than I was told. I looked up a Dizzy from a 86.5-89 and it has the wires that come out the bottom of it rather than the side of it..

Well the 4 wires that come out of there are White, Red, Green, Black and then a all metal or mash that in cases them. The truck is a 84 and the motor I was told came form a 86.87.. I will add some better pic's to this. Sorry about how small the 1st ones was. It was the 1st time I have ever had to get a url to post a pic's on a site. The colors are White, Green, Black, Red.. That come out of the Dizzy.. And I don't think it has a Vacuum Advance on it.. That is why I think i need a Dizzy out of a 83 or 84 but just not shore they will interchange.

Here's my 84 that is a work in progress.. Not for me. But building it for my wife's little brother for his 16th B-Day.. He don't know that its for him.. Right now he thinks it's just one of my new toys that he has said meany times I wish I had that..lol it has 32's on it. Don't know if it has a lift or not. But don't think so..

Have you checked the bran under the driver seat? You mite unplug it and plug it back in with some new elc grease. I had a 86 that was doing about the same thing as this one and it was the bran under the seat.. I unplugged it cleaned the terminals on it and then put new terminal grease on them and it fixed the problem.. And just cause you got a new dizzy does mean it doesn't have a bad module in it.. A few yrs back I bought a new Dizzy for a mustang and put it in and worked grate for like 2 days then it would just die for no reason. and I changed coils, Bran box's and 1st one thing then anther. To find out it had a crack in it and would quiet for a bit. ended up putting anther one in it and that's all it was.. Hope this helps..

Ok so there is quite a few guys here that build Nissan's..lol I Bought a 1-84 720 Nissan king cab 4x4. By the tag on the door it did come with a Z24 carb motor. And it is not running cause they put a 87 or so I was told Z24 motor with only 33K miles on it and the wires to the Distributor is not the same but at lest was a carb motor. I need to know if the Distributors are interchangeable on all of the Z24 motors?? And if anyone close to Oklahoma has a Distributor for a 83,84 Z24 motor and a Radiator and maybe a few other parts.. Pic #3 is where I am guessing the old Distributor hooked up. But It should make a nice little truck for my wife's 16 yr old little Brother. It's not to bad of a little truck for us only given $600.00 for it. I think the motor and trans is worth at lest that much.. Or hope so..
