6cyl L-series Optical distributor

interesting.....do say more about your modifications!

[DJZ]

To make one work with a Link all you need to do is replace the chopper plate with one out of a VG30E or RB20/30E.

I cut the part the rotor attaches to down and blocked up the hole in the plate covering the chopper plate so I could run mine without a cap.

If you want an optical dizzy you are going to need the shaft to suit as well.

[datsunboy]

is the shaft different to a normal shaft?

[DJZ]

Yeap, it's splined on the top for a more postive drive.



This is an optical dizzy.




There is also this odd ball one that also takes a screw on cap but still has a hall effect sensor in it from memory, can't remember where I got it from.

[datsunboy]

hmm....interesting.
those pics are good thanks!
So I'll need a dizzy and a shaft......hopefully the shaft fits into a L4 lol.....if not, could always get that end drive chopped of and somehow fitted to a L4 shaft.

Do you have a shaft out of an engine?

[DJZ]

Yeah I've got the one that came out of my motor around somewhere, if the normal L4 & L6 shafts interchange it'll fit.

I've heard FJ20 dizzy internals are very similar, you could probably replace the chopper plate with one of those and it might work?

[datsunboy]

yeah, Ive seen something about that too.....I'm thinking a CA18 plate should fit....looks about right.

FJ20 dizzys would be too hard to find lol

where do you live and what are you up to today? lol

[DJZ]

Hah I live in Waltham but I have to go out to my work in Sockburn later on today if that's any closer, send me a text if you want to have a look. 021 161 8827.

Here's a pic of the 1 I have modified, I have yet to machine up a cap for it.
