disty Q

Post by odds1 »

Hello people.
I wonder if the disty from a 323F / Lantis V6 will fit on my GS?
I know the one from the 626 V6, MX6 and PGT will, but there aren't many of those here in Norway.
My Mazda dealer asked almost 10K NOK for a new one, that will be about 1430usd. I called him crazy and am now trying to find a cheaper way to go.

Any help appreiciated.

I have a kfze here in the states and i know they will fit, but i dont know exactly how to wire it up to my msd ignition. Im not sure if your mx3 have an internal coil or an external.
If you have an external coil then yes it will plug right up if not your going to have to get a ignition box of some type and a coil and wire it up similar to how jeff abrams site sugests

I would guess that the KF engine supplied in 323Fs for the European market has an internal coil, and it is likely it would work on a K8D engine.

The reason I think that is that the only engines which appear to have separate coils are ZEs, which are JDM only.

However, be aware that the wiring of distributors changed in 1995 - see this thread: http://www.mx-3.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=15;t=004221

All the K series motors except the K8 have external coils.

Do you mean JDM? I understand that all N.American and European Model MX-6, 626 V6 and Probe V6 have coils internal to the distributor.
