Hitachi D4A distributor debuted circa 1973 and features a larger cap than the D40/D41 used in Datsun 1200.
Contents |
Overview
Starting with the A14 engines, the Hitachi D4A points-type distributor replaced the older D4n type (D40/D41). The D4A features a larger cap for improved spark isolation and resistance to crossfiring. The same body casting was later used for the D4F and D4K Electronic Ignition versions.
D4A superseded the early 1960s design Hitachi Distributors, and was used in the following:
- L-series engines
- A-series engines
It has the larger 75mm I.D. cap.
Larger cap -- less chance to crossfire (important in humid climates)
Identification
On the side of the distributor is the 10-digit Nissan part number which will positively identify the make, model and year of the distributor.
Maintenance Parts
Cap & Rotor
The Hitachi D4A cap & rotor also fits Hitachi D4F electronic ignition and Hitachi D4K electronic ignition. A-series, L-series and Z-series four-plug distributors use the same cap. Also fits Subaru, Honda and Isuzu with one of the above Hitachi types.
Cap
Part Number and aftermarket caps interchange, but differ by color, type of terminals (brass vs aluminum), cap finish material, presence or abscence of anti-tracking bosses inside, resistor type, vent/no vent, etc.
