Failing sourcing one from here,visit your local scrapy and source one from an old Fiesta with the Valencia motor.Dont forget to grab the ignition amplifier while you are at it.

Even better if you get the right one the TCI pack is bolted onto the dizzy itself.

I've a good spare distributor in the garage but the module is missing.

Cheers

It'll be cheaper to get one straight from the scrappers I reckon, ours cost £10-15 from the yard, when we upgraded to megajolt it sold on ebay for £70-ish !

Have a look and see if there's 2 in the yard, you could sell one and keep one and still make a profit

Details on the swap are *HERE*

You basically need an old Ford with a Valencia engine. There's full intructions and a list of suitable donors if you click on **THIS LINK**.

For the new distributor you'll need a side-entry cap for a FIAT Strada 85 sport.

Go down and have a look.

My MkIV Escort had a CVH engine so you might not want any of them.





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
