either you're confused about the cylinder numbers or the distributor is incorrectly clocked. all that matters is that you got it to run great! screw what the distributor cap and shop manual says.
That's what everybody assumed, but it's a dual spark system (8 plugs for a 4cyl). The intake side is perfect, but if you put the exhaust side in the order it's supposed to be (book and markings on the dizzy) it won't even start. Fascinating stuff...
That engine is the NAPS-Z, its a Z24i Nissan engine with 8 spark plugs made initially for California emission levels. The rest of the world had the same Z24 with 4 spark plugs called Z24S, I had a Z24S in my '93 D21 truck. This Z24i engine had an electronically controlled carb, maybe there is something you left unplugged or left a loop open and now it won't start.

A great accent to the weber would be a header. I'm running the same carb and a pacesetter header, excellent improvement in power and mileage.
Also consider doing away with the mechanical fan and swapping in an electric one, another way to get a touch of improvement.
Now that is sweet! Curious - will the pacesetter pass smog (visual is no problem for me)?
On an aside - Amazon has Superwinch premium locking hubs for $41 shipped right now if you wanna get rid of your auto hubs.
BKC, I thought this was going to be your run-a-bout rig ? Looks like its turning into a regular expo build...:Wow1::sombrero:
Thanks! I don't know about the smog deal on the header , thats not an issue here in VA.
Sweeeet deal on the hubs!! I now have a set on the way! Thanks for the heads up!!
Hey how's that herculiner bedliner holding up?
