Or save yourself the money and just swap the guts from the Y8 distributor into the Z6 distributor housing. There is no OEM distributor that both bolts up and plugs in if anyone was wondering.
To the OP, did you make sure you connected the thermostat ground at the rear of the engine?

The engine harness itself has a ground, follow the lower rad hose back to the block, it ends at the thermostat housing, this is where the ground is.

u can use the y8 dizzy so u dont have to buy a conversion harness for it. just one bolt at the top lines up but it works fine.

or you can just swap your y8 head onto the z6 block so you can used your obd2 dizzy...make sure you get an aftermarket cam gear to retard the timing 4 degree
