Re: G200W itec optical distributor

It could be the Piazza G200W dizzy! Same guts optical as later 4ZE1 Jackaroos
(but not Rodeo AFAIK).
IE: Jackaroo left; Piazza Right. And thanks yet again to imageshack!!

And with connector:

The connector has the ever useful BWGR markings for Black White Green Red.
Guess which color goes to which? (I'm having fun at the connector - usually
distributors with ignitors etc have "B" for Battery (IGN +12V or +12V side of
the ignition coil), and "C" for Coil (Ign Coil "-" = points terminal). That is so
easy ONCE you realise!)

The easy one is B = Black = earth/chassis = 0V.

Red is obviously +V, but +5V or Ign +12V? I'm certain it is IGN +12V - but I/we
should check...!
White & Green are hence the Ref & Sync signals. IE - one is the 1 or 4 per
rotation "Ref" marks; the other the 4 or 360 (or whatever) "Sync" marks.
[ Confused/Lost? Some systems have 4 Sync marks - one for each cylinder and one Ref mark to indicate the engine is (say) TDC cylinder #1 compression
stroke.
These Isuzu I-TEC dizzies use 4 Refs (one for each cylinder) and 360 Syncs
meaning 1 (degree) cam-shaft resolution = 2 crankshaft resolution - but
that's another story.
Note that the use of "Ref" and "Sync" marks may be a bit arbitrary or
interchanged. And modern versions of those type of dizzy might only use a
single slot row - ie, the 360 slots with one blanked off to act as a REF mark
for sequential systems etc. ]
I'll have to check which is which (White/Green versus Ref/Sync), but both are
earth/chassis/ground/0V switching (aka open collector).
And these must feed an ECU or similar that calculates the timing (since the
dizzy has not mechanical advance/retard mechanism/s - ie, its shaft &
pickup/s are locked) - they CANNOT trigger an ignition coil directly! (That is
current/power-wise as well - they cannot supply the many Amps required to
switch an ignition coil!)
I'll also confirm the module voltage and find its modern equivalent. (Once I
find Poida's link to yet another excellent web source...)
I've posted this info now to allay fears of being stranded, and whilst I have the
chance. (I have been somewhat occupied the past 2 weeks!)

FYI - the Rodeo uses a similar chopper disc but its module is the other type
with 4 in-line pins - the same as many other common systems (Mitsubishi
Magna etc) - which usually exit the side of the dizzy - not underneath as does
the Piazza and Jackaroo (and Nissan Exa turbo, and ...& ..& ..).
IZU069 - Isuzu means a lot to me.
