The famous E15ET distributor type was used by other E-series engines too. The D4P has no visible ignition ignitor parts, and no provision for vacuum advance. Rather it has a crank angle sensor of the type used by certain 1980s and 1990s Nissan engines.

Overview

The crank angle sensor is a thin aluminum disc, which is actually perforated 360 times. In this photo you can make out the screw under the disc, seen through the perforations.

Mitsubishi Engines

The J912 sensor appears not to be used by any Mitsubishi engine, but is similar to the J918 and J928 sensors.
