thanks. will check. I've been able to use some 240z parts so didn't realize especially since the original commercials advertised it. there were a few instances of overheating within a week. I fixed it, but clearly too late.

will do. thanks.

I have a 78 810 sedan, stock L24 (same/similar as 240z). one cylinder has zero compression. can only find 240z engine rebuild kits. question is piston/ring/head/intake/exhaust manifold component compatibility with 78 240z engine components? year:78 model:810 transmission:4 speed manual Engine manufacturer:Nissan L24 Engine type:spark-ignition 4-stroke Fuel system:gasoline indirect injection naturally aspirated Valves per cylinder:2 Cylinders alignment:line 6 Displacement:2393 cm3 / 146.1 cui

yes. I had grounded it to body, didn't work, then thinking maybe it was ground, I ran a ground wire from it to the neg batt ground. still no juice. it's possible I did something to fry it at some point when doing initial wiring.

purchased E12-27 12V 8509 from a 280Z and it worked with the 22100-H7680 B-210 A14 '78 Federal D4F7-01 remote igniter distributor. so far this and the 78 B210 stock E12-27 12V 8118 work.

just fyi for anyone wondering. verdict in. this LX-513 control unit either isn't compatible with the 22100-H7680 B-210 A14 '78 Federal D4F7-01 remote igniter distributor or is defective (though purchased new). will have to find another E12-27 ICU or a just try another GM HEI and hope it works this time.

I have multiple topics for the same effort/issue. I have two b210's. one runs (78 uses D4F with EI control unit), the other doesn't run (77 points distributor). I'm converting 77 to D4F EI from points. I tried an HEI, and didn't work through many trials and correct and reversed wiring. I then pulled the EI control unit from 78 and used it in the 77 and it worked, so now I need another control unit so that both my b210s can run. purchased the Standard expecting it to be compatible for reasons already stated. I have not been able to get that HEI to work in either car. apologies for confusion.

thanks. had done that as well (based on previous advice from you from another topic where I was trying the HEI). this B210 has never not started, but I hadn't run it in a month and decided to try this new control unit. battery is fine (I have battery key to avoid run down)

thanks. I actually tried an HEI and it didn't work. I think it's bad as it didn't produce spark and was wired exactly as you'd referenced. then I found the LX-513 which looks identical to the E12-27 and this site lists as a replacement http://datsun1200.com/modules/mediawiki/index.php?title=B-210_Electronic_Distributor_Swap. it's getting spark but not starting. possible I just need to be patient as I hadn't started it in a while

Can a Standard Motor Products LX-513 SL166-12 ignition control unit replace a Hitachi E12-27 12v 8110 ignition control unit (for 78 B210GX)?

thanks

22100-H7680 B-210 A14 '78 Federal, D4F7-01 remote igniter distributor.

thanks. B210 EI D4F. I know the gap requirements but was maybe being too ginger with the pickup coil after loosening the screws, as it wasn't moving. http://datsun1200.com/modules/mediawiki/index.php?title=D4F
