Replacement Dizzy

[anonymous-user]

Doing the winter jobs and going to replace the distributor on my standard 4.0. Does anyone have a recommendation for an easy swap over and a better unit ?

Thanks

I fitted a Mallory one in my Rover engined kit car some years ago.

Worth a look. Its fully electronic and is mappable.

but only worth a punt if a new standard unit is near the same price and you are going to replace it anyway.

Thought I might try this what do you think.

The seller Simonbbc, appears to be selling a good range of electrical components, at very competitive prices. There are good and not so good reports about his stuff on the Wedge Forum, but I am needing to replace mine on my 350i and I will most likely be buying one off him.

Previously had 3 fuel pumps from this seller - all failed very quickly ie days & each replaced with similar rubbish - pays yer money. Avoid, better bargains to be had.

BTW, what's wrong with the original?

Seems to have some play in the shaft over and above the movement built in.
Seems to give erratic Timing at tick over.
I have good leads , new plugs coil and amp. Engine totally rebuilt 1500 miles ago.

Pick yourself up a S/H Land Rover one and I believe you have to swap the advance and retard mechanisms.

Turned out to be a fault HT lead between coil and dizy.
Changed lead all is now smoothh and stable again.

Probably too late now as you seem to have found the problem, but I seem to recall this guy being mentioned as quite good with Lucas;
