Thread: A spare to carry,early V8 owners

Thats a usefull bit of advice tho the best thing to do is ditch all the moving parts and either retro fit electronic ignition to the early points dizzy or get the later electronic dizzy from a 85 mod on as for the buggered advance its not hard to fix it in position to get the engin to run

Just did my brothers county we fitted the elect dizzy and the external amplifier and coil from one of my rangies was a simple task just wipped out the old points dizzy taking note of were the rotor was and also were the housing was and droped in the elec jobie just have to make sure the oil pump drive stays put down in the hole if not like his didnt we fashioned a length of steel curtain rod with a hammer so we could turn the drive to the right spot so the dizzy would go back in were it came out wire it up like it was in the rangie and tighten down the dizzy and away ya go no more mungrell points
