Distributor

I think I have managed to fry my electronic ignition putting engine back in and connecting it up incorrectly. I have no spark
. Ordered a new module but wondered if anyone's got any tips, distributor is a pertronix flamethrower, wondered if it would be better with an original Bosch svda so at least I could go back to points and condenser in such a situation... If I can find one

An original Bosch is brilliant but also 123 ignition seems to be popular but expensive. H H Ignition solutions will rebuild a Bosch SVDA for about £90 if you find one that needs a rebuild.

 

Cheers...I'll start hunting

According to @snotty a 123 distributor makes you more attractive to the opposite sex.

 

I have enough problems without having the fairer sex chasing me about

It’s true.

If you’ve the dosh burning a hole in your pocket, buy a 123.

 

Go on... I could do with a stroke... How much?

As you only need a points distributor as a spare, you could get a cheap repro off ebay for less than £50. or genuine worn out Bosch ones for refurb do turn up on ebay from time to time, search ebay and see what's around.

 

I think I'll keep eye open for spare in eBay and fix up pertronix.. I daren't add up how much I've spent on my van... A small fortune

Or about £282 from Classic Auto Elec https://www.classicautoelec.com/en/...-t1-t2-and-t3.html#/capsule_à_dépression-avec

 

I got mine from Holland saved on postage by picking it up

Are they really worth it? Can I bugger it up by wiring it up arse first?

NEVER add up how much you have spent on the van.

 

Never ever! I have all my receipts and they will never be added up!

It is reasonably idiot proof

 

i know what i'm like, next time i'm bored and flush I'll buy one .....

 

I don't keep any of the receipts for all the bits ordered just so my wife has no excuses for buying more handbags, shoes etching..
