Hey guys,
Is it possible to move the distributor to a different location. Just had a thought to make it easier to get to and also put it somewhere where it would look more technical to the uneducated automotive people of this world = my mates. how does the dizzy get the power to rotate. Is it a direct connection to something turning off the engine or is it just supplied electrical power and rotates on its own. I am very uneducated in the components other than the engine however seem to know how to pull s**t apart and put it back together and the car will still work. Cheers, Michael |

Its driven by a gear inside the engine. No you can't move it.

Gotta think outside the square when the bits you need arent at hand! Obviously, the appropriate part from a good supplier is the preferred choice.

You can convert to dis ignition like EF or AU onwards...But you'll need different ecu and six coil packs...The original dissy can stay b to be used as crank angle senser...Or inplace of...
