I came across this company looking into dizzys for my 2.6- they make electronic units, one of which can be tuned via USB on a laptop! ;) They sell a 4 cylinder and 6 cylinder unit for Lucas replacements, but are both are pretty expensive. I doubt the cost is justified and it goes against the simplicity of a rover, but I know some want to wring every last bit of go juice out of their mill.

Its good to know that I no longer have to rotate my distributor to adjust timing as that tends to lead to carpal tunnel syndrome :D

windoze or mac? I guess if the car quits it can always be rebooted.:thumb-up:

this is pretty cool. my question is it really an issue with a rover engine/distributor given that it's not exactly high performance?? i personally have no idea.
anyone know how much is a lot by the way? the petronix stuff they suggest being a problem in a worn distributor goes for under $100, but this is clearly the full assembly so i'm guessing double that.

It's a good way to go if you need to play with advance curves and remapping the timing. For a Series truck and a standard motor there's not a lot to be gained for the money.There are better options available.

That's just what a series needs...a component in a lucas based electrical system that can now be infected with computer viruses! Microsoft won't appreciate having all those malfunction notices sent to them!
