Im swapping in a Y8 in my EG, I did my searching and found that a Z6 distributor should line up....The one I have and am 99% sure its a Z6 dizzy doesnt fit. What should I be looking for here? Any help?

 

just confirmed its a Z6 dizzy. Any reason why the bolt holes wont line up?

 

the Z6/D15B head is unlike the other SOHC heads. You can drill it out and use washers if you want to rig it or just get a 92-95 DX/LX distributor. Your alternator plug from your EG won't plug into the Y8 alternator either, just swap the plug on the alternator over from your EG's motor.

 

thanks, in the process of selling and buying...

 

I have a DX dizzy now, it wont bolt up either. What now?

 

you have an obd1 d15b7 distributor and it doesn't line up w/ the y8 head?

I am triple checking that its a DX dizzy. The code is too faint to read.

 

well, put it this way-

if it doesn't line up with the y8 head, it's not an obd1 dx distributor....

it might be a d15z1 distributor or something?

 

Looks like a mixup, switching them and trying it again...
