http://www.vintagespeed.co.uk/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=173&category_id=37&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=119 Just wondering if the 'VW123 Ignition' dizzy available from Vintage Speed will fit a CJ Type 4 engine - all the tech data only covers Types 1/2/3, oddly enough. Anyone any experience or thoughts? Ta.
Thanks Paul, any idea which mapping would be used? 1600? They are certainly reassuringly expensive. If I ever get any refund from cancelling my less than satisfactory European roadside recovery policy I'm thinking of upgrading to something that will prevent breakdowns in the first place!
Oh they are for mapping an engine? In that case yes sweet. As long as the carbs etc dont go out of true
No they don't map your engine, in the sense of an engine management unit. With the USB-capable ones, you can load alternative ignition timing advance curves.
As far as I'm concerned they are the bees knees, no had a moments worry since I fitted one 3 years ago Not cheap but worth every penny.
But is it worth doing/getting? I want something that's mega reliable and I think you mentioned about getting something with a vac can. Do you think we should get this over the other one you choose?
EDIT: Turns out this is wrong! If you decide to go for it (which I certainly would if I was still stock) they're much cheaper than vintage speed here: http://www.sciperformance.co.uk/onlineshopproducts_53353/cat_641579-123ignition-Original.html
