Bryan,

Can't you swap the disy's over? especially if the auto disy has different adv and retard curves from the old manual engine (... that I dont know).

The AC Delco and Lucas distributors are quite different in appearance.

 

The AC Delco unit was a cheap and nasty thing, not particularly accurate even when new and which wore (and therefore dwindled further in accuracy)remarkably rapidly.

 

Lucas distributors worked much better, although normally fitted only on the 16 rather than 8 valve 2 litre engine. The 16V version can be converted to work on the 8V, and Martin Jay (Distributor Doctor) made a cracking job of rebuilding/converting one to suit my son Tom's black Wedge.

 

Note that the Lucas unit requires also the spacer between dissie and block.

 

Cheers

 

Alec
