So I got the engine out and on the floor and transfering all the needed parts. The dizzy is in there real tight. I got it out about an inch and a half and not it wont budge. I dont really want to pry on it with a large flat head or any thing... or can i?
 
fuck if i know.. hes pulling motors while dropping acid and licking his computer screen
 
a dizzy is the geared shaft that drives the distributor... you guys are great. i wouldn't force it, IMO you should take off the front cover so you don't damage the gearing.

Sorry old habit from Honda/Mustang days... they all call it a dizzy for short... alot easier to type than distributor....

I just turned mine while pulling it and it pulled right out

btw...please dont call it a "dizzy" anymore its annoying
what's wrong with "dizzy"? very common term for the part. i'd say its less annoying than 240sx owners calling their cars 180sx, 200sx, silvia, etc, when it isnt one.

and its not just honda and mustang guys, i've heard plenty of nissan guys call it that too

no actualy the Term Used as Slang for Distributor is "DIZZY" as it is easier to type and state verbally. **Especially after a few beers**
 
disty? haha, i've only ever heard dizzy... weekend warriors, backyard fooses, average mechanics, even nissan techs... i've never once heard "disty"... always been dizzy. most likely a mix of the proper name and the spinning motion of the part.
 
i feel bad for you bitches that have dizzies disties what ever you want to call them. i think its sad how you are arguing with him that dizzy is wrong. and if he wants to say it. who fucking cares. you say potato, i say i will shoot you with one at 100mph. its all the same thing. stop arguing about it.

Dizzy
Round black unit under the hood of a car which supplies electricity to the spark plugs. Also known as "distributor"


I need a ZC dizzy for my DOHC ZC

disty 1 up, 1 down

In science fiction fandom, an issue or mailing of an amateur press association (apa); short for "distribution". Also: disty-wisty-pooums, umpkin, chicken salad sandwich. Started out being used by local apas associated with local clubs, where more copies were handed out to people in attendance than were actually mailed.


as for getting your dizzy out. i had to pull on my pretty hard but i would play it safe like dave said and pull off the front timing cover
