bratman2 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 The Hitachi is stock on the 4whl drives. The nippo denso I believe came on 2whl drives. The nippo supposedly has a faster vacuum advance that gives a slight bit more lower end power. I think you would really be splitting hairs. I would just get which ever is most reasonably priced if you are buying the whole distributor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatchsub Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 You really cant mix and match coils and distributors though...or so i heard. If you do a nippo...make sure to get the coil too. In the end you wont be really gaining anything going nippo. If the advance is faster you wont notice it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bratman2 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) I don't think the coil knows what distributor you have really. As long as the ohms resistance matches. Edited February 5, 2014 by bratman2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle691 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I am having the same issue. I did some research to try and find one that would interchange but decided im going to get it rebuilt. I heard this place was good at it but haven't tried them out yet. I read they can rebuild the vacuum advance or the whole distributor. http://www.philbingroup.com/rebuilt/distributors.htm Besides that there is a thread on here about rebuilding the vacuum advance your self somewhere. If i can find it ill link it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatchsub Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I think i mis-remembered about the coil thing. Its aftermarket coils that kill the factory distributors. Thats what it was. I had that happen to me once upon a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
