Thread: Powerspark electronic ignition fitted to Series3 Landy.

Great stuff!

Is that the same as the Britpart kit?

Certainly the FIRST thing that will be going into Ela Diablo!

I don't know about the Britpart kit, but Powerspark offer conversion kits also.(log onto their site)
I went for the complete unit on the basis that there had to be wear in the original distributor.

Good luck,

Norm.

I fitted the dizzy cap leads to my D1 about 6 months ago. It has not missed a beat since, they are great value as well.

The LR runs extremely well, and the blurb says that the fuel economy will improve by up to 17% but that remains to be seen.

Hello from Brisbane,

I have been contemplating making the changeover to a similar unit.

I was wondering how the system was performing now that you have had a few months to test it out?

Especially the fuel economy - notice much change there?

Cheers,

Hi,

I put the Powerspark distributor in my S3 SWB about 6 months ago.
I am very pleased with it. idle is lower, smooth and consistent, start is easier especially when cold and the dwell is static.
I checked the timing with a light last weekend and it hasn't moved since I put it in.
I haven't got any figures on the fuel consumption but it appears better on both petrol and LPG.
For the cost of the system I would replace the entire distrubutor and keep the old one as a spare, already set up, just drop it in to your LR or if a mate has points problems down the track.

Regards,

Phil
