Why don't you just run the Z6 distributor?

The Y7 and Y8 dizzy's are the same part so you could use either. I'm not sure why the Y8 one didn't fit unless they sold you the wrong part. The Z6 dizzy will not line up on a Y8 head. If you are dropping the motor into an OBD1 car then you'll have the rewire the Y7/Y8 dizzy to OBD1 plug style.
