Is it just me...

[chassis 33]

...or have prices for ignition modules (STC1856 i think is the number) almost doubled in price over winter? I'm struggling to find somewhere selling them for less than £100. Any ideas, cos at that sort of money I can see me swapping to an MSD unit.

Is that the one that clips on to the dizzy Iain?

No, it's the remote one that bolts to the ali plate, like the link...hubba hubba...two soon to be on order!

Thanks

i thought it was the same module just bolted to the ali plate Chassis33,austin metro as well,still i have been known to be wrong.

You are probably correct Dad. I think there is some wiring adaptation required.. but it may be just if you want to remote the earlier version tho (Lucas did a kit with the required adaption IIRC)

Just a quickie, hopefully.
On the back of the thread in the initial post, if I was to swap to an MSD 6AL unit, would I have to keep an ignition amplifier or could I plumb straight from the two wires from the dizzy straight into the MSD box?

There are a couple of sink plungers on ebay, just in case you are bunged up

I fitted the 6AL to mine and it works very well. I did have to disconnect the amplier and added a MSD Tach Adaptor so it will work with the fuel injection.

If you find one that works ok please let me know... i've bought 2 now and the garage has said the're BOTH faulty.. one was an intermoto part £18 which wouldn't even fire the car up and the other one directly from Lucas part no DAB118 with the plug conversion kit for £41. I'm not sure why most TVR outlets are charging near a £100 but I'm hoping they may be special in someway!!! I would appreciate your feedback if you have any luck.

PM me your address, I've one at home I believe to be good. I can send it over to use in trouble shooting. If it works send me a couple of beer tokens, I don't need it cos I'm going over to coil packs.

ETA just seen your profile, is Upton the Upton in Chester as opposed to the other 8 in the country according to Google maps? If so I'll drop it round to you.
