WTB l20 electronic 4 plug distributor anyone know of one lying around i want to block off the 4 plugs on the exhaust side of a Z20E+T and run only 4 on the inlet is this the easiest way to do it or should I be going down the ca18 cas mod route??

i would imagine finding an electronic dizzy for an L20 would be difficult at best. there is a thread on here, for converting a points setup to run electronic ignition on the L series engines.

you could also just remove the second coil, and spark plug leads......presto.....its a 4 spark engine again.
remove the Exhaust side leads.....as I think those are the ones added that trail by a deg or something from the inlet side plugs to burn any unburnt fuel remaining

^ this.

Pretty sure the Z18ET can run with only the inlet plugs. Any reason why you only want to run four plugs though?
