It's the same as early RRC's.

Has it got electronic ignition on it ?

Steve

Lumenition thingy i belive, aftermarket.

What´s up with the dizzy anyway ?

Steve

It's rattling like a good un, weights etc are buggered.

I'd fit one from a rangie or disco with electronic ignition. ISTR there's an issue with the kind with the amp on the dizzy which is, I think, a

There are advantages in this approach - it's all standard parts and you do away with the points, obviously (although the lumenition may not have points either).

If it's just the mechanical parts that's buggered, I've got a few old dizzies lying about if you know which one it is. Post the number on the side, I may have the right one, and I've also got some Lumenition bits as well, you're not far from me (Saddleworth).

It's rattling like a pensioners teeth in the depth of winter!

Austin Shackles uttered summat worrerz funny about:

It has a rota with 8 arms which interupt a light beam kinda thing.

Lee D

Too many spaces in mine for 'em to rattle.

Martin

This could be moved onto a new dizzy then?

If it's Luminition - yes! Just make sure you wire it right......

Richard

Anyone got a suitable dizzy?

beamendsltd uttered summat worrerz funny about:

And be careful when you remove the pastic rota below the rota arm. I took a look before bringing him up to you but the likelyhood of me snapping the rota and Morph being stuck talked me out of the idea, at the time I just wanted to check the advance and retard was fastened down correctly but I aborted and quit while I was ahead.

I'm sure some kind soul must have the luminition fitting instructions knocking about... all that I've picked up so far mentions a critical air gap which I presume is between the rota blades and the sensor. It really is a clever bit of kit! Painfully simple with no mechanical moving parts as such.

Lee D

Nige, I've been thumbing through those mags Alan Hughes took to the Unofficial, one has an advert from these who rebuild distributors, prices quoted as "from£94.48 each" in 2002. Dunno if it's worth a look.
