i23ignition fitment

Decided to fit a contactless electronic ignition. 

Thought about hall effect points replacment but still have concerns over the worn original parts so eventially decided to gamble and go fr a 123ignitino system.
Yes see http://www.123ignition.nl/
I got it thru the Oz agent  see 
http://www.123ignition.com.au/ $561 delivered to me at a friends in Adelaide.

 

Over here for a bit and after the 1200km trip the timing had slipped again - just a bit but...
So I thought bugger it after 520000km the distributor is most probable a bit worn in areas I can get to - How much is a rebuild - how much is this.
If it woeks I'll fit one to my 164e - they produce one with takeoffs for fuel injection too. Also produce a tunable one with a usb imput :-).
So I'll keep you informed.
Will be carrying a spare normal distributer in the boot for a while. :-) till I get confidence in the system


Another run to Adelaide

Figures below are for Esperances' performance.

Nice trip in 14 hours Started in freezing fog - yes the SU's did suffer icing problems. But so did everything at -3 with no preheater.

After that the trip was uneventful - still think I got some points degradation - as it is not running quite as I would have hopped now - just a bit sluggish - still sat on 120 kph thru the hills. twas nice.

a wonderful older car.

a great Volvo. - Can't wait to do the same trip in the 164.

Another run to Adelaide
