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
