Patrol Tune Up

[Andrew]

Hello, I am working on a tune up and wanted to know if anyone has found these parts at a local parts store like Napa. I found these on Nissan parts zone. Am I missing any parts?


**162-46502 CAP DISTRIBUTOR $25.55
**145-58000 POINT-SET $7.69
**157-46502 ROTOR HEAD $4.96
**450-80029 S/PLUG CABL SET $47.09

I have the non-waterproof distributor. The numbers you posted are correct. However, good luck with NissanPartsZone. For me it has been a disappointment on three occasions since you place the order, and a couple of hours after that you receive an email stating that the order has been canceled due to parts being no longer available.

Hope some other members have a source for these items.

As Esteban pointed out, those parts are for the non-water protect distributor. Your Patrol most likely has the water protect distributor on it. In which case points and condenser are pretty impossible to find. The w/p cap is still available, and the wires. I'm not sure about the rotor. This is one reason why some people have gone to the Pertronix electronic ignition.

Sorry for the confusion I created. The parts that Andrew posted, do correspond to the water-protect type distributor.

Andrew, I would check these dudes if you really want points but the pertronics is a better deal, better performance, waterprotect (1763LS), and looks original in the engine bay:

Pertronix sounds like a good idea. Any idea on a place to find a cap quickly?
