They were fitted to all the military Lucas screened distributors, different part numbers for different engines due to rpm settings. You could use a conventional rotor arm as I am sure you will not be over-speeding the engine. I do not have a number for any other standard type rotor arms that would fit.

And if it's cutting in too son file a little off the weight and if too late lay some solder on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Came across this a lot when working in REME workshops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Came across this a lot when working in REME workshops. I learned this sort of trick when attached to the Royal Horse Guards who were running dingoes and Daimler Armoured cars at the time. It's a long time ago now and I've forgotten a lot of things but this one stuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
