Hi all,
any one got a good lucas 35DML8 dizzy for sale or do you know where I can get one reconditioned, I have a new powerspark dizzy in place but not happy with it, suffering random miss fires confirmed by inductive timing light connected to ht leads.

I might have a spare somewhere but it will be well used.

I had the same issue with a brand new Powerspark dissy. It failed after 7 weeks. I bought a good second hand original 350i unit and it's been fine since.

I've got several genuine Lucas ones. What advance curve do you need?

Are these new / unused and would you have one suitable for an early 4.0 pre-cat Griff? If so, can you pm me a price including postage. No idea on the advance curve off hand but I could do a bit of research.
