Thank you sooooo much, you are the first person that has been helpful. I am just a young gun 23....lol

p.s. I don't know why I never thought of that, it seems so simple thats I am so stupid not to have thought of it lol

Only a suggestion...Why don't you get a G.M. 6 cylinder HEI distributor and the VG30 distributor and combine them to make one!
Use the lower part off the VG30 (shaft and gears) and the upper part off the GM distributor (Ignition module, trigger and Cap)...shafts can be joined with a roll pin!
I have two distributors that were converted on a '59 Studebaker V8 and a '52 Henry J 6 cylinder. Check out this web-site www.performancedistributors.com/index.html
Just make sure you have enough clearance with the distributor cap! Heck...if you can't source this distributor use a Chrysler unit or any pre-fuel injected model!

I am getting the whole car complete a 1984 300ZX, frame is buggered and cannot be registered. I plan on putting the engine and auto trans into a 1200, and every time I have seen a swap it says you need the saudi distributor, so I assumed I could not use the original when I switch the 300ZX to carb., As for the modifying the manifold for a carb, that is the easy part.

He's a 510 owner :P So you don't have any distributor, did you have any of the engine wiring harness? If it was an electronic distributor it'd need the little control box like some of them had or if it's like my nifty N12 pulsar one that'd be inside it.

carburetor is simple, but how does a guy switch the distributor to old school with no CPU. Can I use the L28 distributor? I saw a kid on youtube put a vg30 in his 510, carbed and used a pertronix manetic pic up. but he won't reply to my questions.

that looks like a 2 barrel, u want a 4, it would flow enough easily even stock, then u can always go further with it.
