Distribulination

Post by boywithamazda »

ok so I just finished my swap but it won't start.
I'm not getting a spark so i decided to switch to the k8 disty, but it looks differrent than the ze one...the d cap reads 453216 clockwise on k8,456321 on the ze. When I search I keep seeing that i can use the k8 one, i just don't know how...help??

not true, the firing order will be correct. You need to wire it using the numbers on the K8 disty. I know this may seem weird, but it is correct. All of us with ZE or DE swaps use the K8 disty (unless using aftermarket ignition) and wire the plug wires acording to the cap on the K8. It should fire right up :D
