The distributor was about £290 including tax and the leads and coil were of course extra. I shall be ordering a set of plugs on monday. As far as I know they were options for 2 bolt or three bolt, but not sure whether you can fit without the adaptor if you need one.

Take a look at the website.

it may answer your questions.

Looks like a good product, even I could be convinced to change, Cheers Andrew.

Default I switched and like it....

Went to pertronix on the rebuilt chev 261 and love it....

The NOS 216 spark plug wires could not handle the 40k volts and were shocking to touch so went with modern black 8mm.

Had to regap the spark plugs (new AC 44) to 40 thou and suddenly idled much better.

Running fine ever since.....5 years ago...

Well just back from the Headcorn Combined Ops Event and T16 ran great. IN fact its the first time from memory that it has not stopped after some time and had to cool down. In other words the distributor is running fine. Mixture not right, and I am planning on a strip down of the carb to clean it out I guess it would do no harm. Anyway, here we are on the way back from the show.

Hi Andrew,
It was good to see you with both the T16 and Dingo at the show. I have to say the T16 was running sweetly. Worth biting the bullet and fitting the new dizzy.

regards, Richard

I've just fitted the same crab style electronic distributor to the Lynx and it has made a huge difference, it still needs a little fine tuning but is running so much better already.

Well worth the expense!

James
