early british ww2 Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 Hi Glynn,Have you tried the Distributor Doctor? http://www.distributordoctor.com/ Hi Richard , Many Thanks for the link - I have already spoken to Martin the Distributor Doctor who is a very helpful chap , Unfortunately he didn't have anything on the shelf immediately that he could sell me but I am in the process of sending him a Distributor to be rebuilt - I am just seeing what I could do before going to W&P this year which is now only around the corner . Ruggy John - I am not sure that the MRA1 would have the same dizzy as the cs8 , I would suspect it to have a more modern unit , Richard you may be able to help on this front having had a lot of experience over the years ?? But obviously a quick look on the dizzy body should tell us what model dizzy they use , Cheers Rgds Glynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does not appear to be anything like the CS8 one, in fact the engines are poles apart, side and overhead valves. Hope this is of help to you. regards, Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tim gray Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Hi Glyn,Have to confess i have been looking for ages for one for the PU. I have managed to find some bits as spares but no distributor body yet. The DUH6A was also used on a jaguar model so the bloody things have probably got some sort of horrible premium on them.Regards TimPS, ARE YOU GOING TO SELL ME THE 15CWT WITH NO DIZZY :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a more serious note If you let me have your engine for my cs8 then I could always bring you a Morris Minor engine in exchange !! converted for unleaded of course and painted Morris Engine Green ready to fit ! lol You are right in thinking they are not easy to get hold of and do cost a small fortune when you find one - probably because of the Jaguar connection !? Cheers See you soon , Glynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
