ians Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Apart from the DM2 having screwed vacuum connection and side lead entry distributor cap does anyone know if there are any other differences between these two distributors? Has anyone fitted an Accuspark replacement system? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/170733088913?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Best to talk to Martin about the subtle differences. http://www.distributordoctor.com/ Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ashley James Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Martin I bought a new distributor from AccuSpark but with points and it's superb, arguably better than an original Lucas and about £40. The only dodge was the the plug leads faced rearwards rather than pointing away from the engine, so I found a Lucas distributor cap and used that. He does the red rotor arm too.

dykins Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Hello Ian I have the positive earth Accuspark electronic ignition fitted to my TR4. Have had no problems at all. For the price, I think it is a bargain. Regards Peter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ntc Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 (edited) The low voltage entry plug is different Edited June 6, 2012 by ntc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ashley James Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 (edited) The low voltage entry plug is different No it isn't, but that distributor can have three caps, one forward facing, one rearward and one outward. The correct TR3/4 cap fits on and points outward, but theirs, which costs £4.99, faces towards the rear of the car. Edited June 6, 2012 by Ashley James Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stuart Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Be aware the BBC red rotor arm isnt one of Martins but a Chinese copy. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ashley James Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 I've been to China quite a few times, the paces I've visited are far ahead of us and anything we can do and they work hard like you wouldn't believe. I love 'em! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
