Hi Rusty, my 1986 6 port 13B is fitted with a 1985 Mazda distributor and runs quite well. However, I do not know if it is possible to fit a CAS to an earlier engine.

Subject: [FlyRotary] front covers, distributors, and CAS

Greetings,

The first gen RX-7 had a distributor, and a front cover with an engine mount built in. The second gen had a front cover that wasn't as deep, and used a CAS. Can someone tell me for certain if you can use a CAS, or distributor with either front cover. In other words, can I use a CAS with the first gen cover, and can I use a distributor with the second gen cover?

Thanks,

Rusty (trying to settle on which bolt pattern to put on the Kolb single rotor mount)
