[rsdn]

hi there...... i m planning 2 change my

distributor soon..... my question is.....

can i fit a 5K internal ignited electronic

distributor on my 4K...currently mine is

ND contact point type...does anyone have

done it....pls help!!!!

Yes a 5K dizzy will fit straight in. Being electronic, you will need to make some mods to the wiring, and you need a non resistor setup, with a non resistor type coil, ie a GT40 as opposed to a GT40R. You make the wiring bypass the resistor.

You could also buy a "Diamond" brand electronic coil

which many spare parts shops in Kuala Lumpur sell

for around RM40. It does not have a ballast resistor.

 

Just tell them you want a coil for an electronic distributor.

 

Salvage shops usually have these kind of coils as well.

Try Soon Choi which I mentioned in my other post.

i heard of brand called hitachi 4 the coil.....

 

but it is rather expensive i been told...

 

the price is about RM 80..have u heard bout

 

it tham??

Hitachi makes electronic coils too, I think,

but I'm not sure about the price. Hanshin

is also part of Hitachi - makes a lot of standard

coils found in Datsun, etc.

 

Diamond is more common and should

be reliable, made in Japan too. I remember I used

it with the electronic distributor which I bought

from Soon Loy for my Mitsubishi in the 90's.

 

My usual spare parts shop in Segambut has it.

Sheong Hoa , 6258-6258. The shop is near Tan Chong.

Most shops will have it, I guess, Diamond has

been around a long time.

 

Lots of coils from China these days, but not

reliable, I heard.

 

Bosch also makes electronic coils, but I don't

think they have it here. Stradlater from this forum,

who is in Australia I think, has a spare one if you wish

to contact him. See this post :
