my friend has a sierra cosworth being put together how ever we have some confusion over the dizzy cap, should it be a 90 degree angled cap or a normal straight cap, the original is a 90 degree one but its not producing a strong enough spark and all motor factors keep sending a straight which does not seem to fit? its an 89 sierra, all info wonderfully received,

Hi mate the angled cap is for the 3dr cosworth and the 2wd sapp so that is the one you need the srtaight up cap is off the 4x 4 sapp and large turbo escort cossy ask your factors to cross ref the coosy number for the 2wd with a fiat 2000 cannot remember the exact model but just check the numbers as the caps are the same hope this helps

Check the phase sensor they are not very reliable and cause all sorts of ignition problems!

Hope this helps Neil

Sorry been a while only just saw the post the phase sensor is in the dizzy if you take the cap & rotor off you can see it.
