OK so i have been to hell and back trying to get this s*** done. So after deeling with this all night long and breaking a few items (i already fixed that stuff) i have come to a major dilemma. My OBD0 dizzy wont fit on the Z6 head. Atleast i believe its a Z6, its stamped PO6 and P28 on the dizzy side of the head. I am not trying to convert to OBD1 at this point due to funds. So can anyone tell me what dizzy to pick up that will work with everything that i already have?


P.S. if your thinkin about doin a mini me swap... SAVE YOUR MONEY, i learned my lesson and now i need to get my car running .......

 

the z6 dizzy will not bolt right up. either fab something or bolt it up even though it doesnt look good. You can still make the dizzy work with all the bolts not in.

 

im not using the z6 dizzy... im tryin to use the obd0 A6 dizzy. is that what u meant? is there any obd0 dizzy that will bolt up?

 

you have to cut one of the ears off. All of the holes will not line up. Cut one of the ears off and use a bolt w/ a bigger washer!

 

This is what happens if you don't do adequate research. And don't try to say you did because the dizzy issue is clearly discussed in several articles on the subject.

Your a6 obd-0 dizzy will not bolt to the z6 head. If you had purchased a y8 head, the a6 dizzy would bolt up.

The common, cheapest solution to your problem is to use two of the three bolt holes. Not ideal, but it will get the car running.

The better long term solution is to convert to obd-1 and use a z6 dizzy.

 

Thanks Davens.
To the OP: I would not say it's a waste of money, it's actually a nice cheap upgrade, you just need to do your research and have all the right parts. Really you will be better off converting to OBD1 anyway, that's the right way to do it.
You haven't even run into much trouble yet, it took me almost 7 weeks to get mine going, and it turned out all my problems were coming from a bad dizzy. Just go get a new Z6 one and P28, you know everything will fit right, and you will be running the motor the way it should be.

 

well thanks for the info... and i guess i shoulda looked into that a bit more but atleast i know i can get it goin for now.... i think

 

You should be able to swap the obd0 dizzy guts into the obd1 dizzy housing.

 

yea, the a6 dizzy wont bolt up to a z6 head. Good thing i got a y8 head on, it will bolt right up.
