which SVDA

I have a stock twin port 1600 it has mech advance dissy and i would like to try a SVDA type dissy unfortunately the Bosh ones are thin on the ground and there are so many cheap shits out there i was wondering if any one has any experience with the Mexican ones? or any other ideas? Or even better a Bosh one kicking around they might se;l?
Thanks Mitchell

Hi,

I purchased a dissy from Hot Spark in the USA after seeing there advert on Samba.

Cost was $119.95 from memory plus freight, it has electronic module. Compared with the genuine Bosch 009 dissy that the car came with when purchased, it made it a pleasure to drive. Advance curve seems to be correct and operates efficiently.

I run a Pertronix distributor in two of my cars, made in the good old USA, or the other distributor I run is the Mallory, a lot more expensive but infinity adjustable

None of them are Chinese junk.

I asked aircolled re the petronics they think module is made in the good ol USA but the dissys aren't just installed in the US with the module.

Cool do you think there is any value in the unilite for a stock 1600?
Thanks m
