    Yeah...as soon as school and my job stop stealing my free time I should finish it. Kind of embarrassing how little is left to do with the car.

    I'm almost certain a 4g63 SOHC distributor would have to be rewired as well, kinda removing the point of swapping our distributor.

    Easy, take a 4g15 Distributor:


    Machine the part in red, and make a little lip to put a new retainer a that's the "magical trick", fully tested to work the Red Mirage has run 13.8@96mph:smt096

    The Distributor will end exactly like the CAS:



    No need to rewire, since the G64/G15 use the same plugs with the wires in the same location.

    Siguel..you would gets lots of hugs and kisses from several people on this board.

    When this thread was posted several years ago I went to a salvage yard and tried several distributors on a 63 head and found a distributor that seemed to bolt up but the problem was the "slot" that goes into the head and for the cam groove. I

    Obviously I gave up, but if I was more persistant...maybe I would of came up with idea like you did, of machining that slot. :slaps head:

    My path has somewhat switched lanes all of the sudden

    I recomend if you have the CAS, take it to the machine shop and tell them to make the DIstributor the same shape as the CAS, that what I did.

    oh ok! Does this distributor have the cam and crank sensors in it, or just cam sensor?

    SO does this mean you can use your Stock ECU with this distributor???

    Iam going to go and punish myself now for not thinking of this... I found a shop a year back as well that did this conversion and emailed them about it.

    They use a custom distributor setup and wouldn't elaborate any further. I believe they wanted about 150.00 for this so called magic distributor that they could reproduce :(

    Well Good work SIGUEL, Now I have yet another Item to pick up the next time in the Junk Yard... Thanx for posting up...

    Damn, I scrapped the 4g15 out of my Mirage and trashed all the other parts. Looking at the picture of the engine I see your not using the 4g63 motor mount, is that for a mock up or are you using it. Cause my may already know the 4g63 motor mount doesnt fit in the 4th Gen Mirage?
