Be selective on electronic ignitions. If you go with the hotter coil, and
remove the ballast resistor (which I was going to do), you'll want to go
with a hotter coil. The one that datsun.com sells is really goofy looking.
I want a more stock look.
I bought the petronix unit and kept the ballast resistor and the stock coil.
Does anyone out there know if you can run that unit without the resistor?
Any way to get a hotter coil that fits in the stock bracket?

HI All,
Wow first day back at work in a while...yuck
I would like to solicit opinons on dist. I am thinking that
my stock 30yr old smog dist is on the way out. What shouldI replace it
with??
I sotck no-smog dist from a earlier 1600? Or what about a new fancy
electronic
dist?? I kinda like the idea of not having to deal with points and getting
rid of the resistor. For some reason it bugs me that the voltage gets
dropped
beforethe coil. I want the full power available to spark my gass.
SO if my dist is wearing out does it make sense to spend the extra
~100 bucks and get the fancy dist. that "Mr. datsun.com" <jk> sells??
I do not really believe that its going to add horse power but I am h
hoping that it will be more dependable and maybe make the car run a little
smoother.
