What is my Distibutor out of ???

[Schultz]

I am trying to find out what my distributor is out of. It has some numbers on it.

T4T62373

I can take some pictures if that would help?
Can anyone help me with this?
Greatly appreciated




Life is wonderful.

According to the might google, it's an 82 JA dizzy:

Thank you Komeuppance
Appreciate your time

It never occurred to me to even think that it was a JA Starion also the engine is out of a JA. I was looking at sonata, gallant, sigma and L300 distributors and nothing looked the same. I never look at the simple things I always have to make it difficult for myself.
My cap bolts on, which is the same as a JA but then my rotor button is nearly the same size as my cap, a big round one, not a long skinny one like what I find for JA's.

I need to buy a new rotor and cap but I suppose it don't matter if the rotor button is round or ling shaped.

Sometimes things are difficult.



That is my rotor button. It is a bolt on only. Normal rotors are push on but oh no we can't have that. My car has to be a pain in the backside.
Also my distributor has not got a vacuum advance mechanism on it.

Still require a bit more help
Thank you

My book lists that as 83/84 year and a HEI Type I. MD066838 and mentions it has vacuum advance. The diagram shows the ignitor is actually located inside the dizzy?!

That was a great help for me because I kept following your trail on ebay and finally found one on there for a Mitsubishi Lancer CE which looks right.
I have been going crazy in the head (alright I admit I was crazy already) with this problem. :D

No worries! I remembered there were two types when I was looking for the part for mine. But still, I'm sure it should have a vacuum advance on the side.

Vac advance would have been pulled off by whoever did the mpi conversion. And the mechanical advance has probably been locked as well.

Thank you redzone

I was a bit worried that I lost part of my dizzy while I was driving along.
