Im after a electric dizzy for my 2.0l escort.
ive been told you can get a simple 2 wire joby, which just wires to
+coil and one to -coil,
or what ever you have, cheers..

Mine pretty much works like that on the surface but it isnt a cheap option.

I use a Scorcher dissy from a Magna that is HEI and is modified to use an Escort shaft so it still has the oil pump drive in it. You then need a different coil and to run a new wire from the ignition switch.

Performance ignition sell it as a kit for about $400.

Depends what you want and the spec of your motor i suppose

Does anyone have a photo of a modified dissy?

ok but i know there are much easier types out there,
i think maybe a sierra one?
or a fireball conversion.

Can someone tell me why they are only $75 in America but $400 in OZ are they different??

I think the 400 version is the fireball conversion i found on ebay aust, I was hoping someone had one lying around they dont need etc.

I have the petronix one that James posted up in my RS and yep it does run a hell of a lot better than the old points and seems good value for money. I can't cast judgement on this compared to the more expensive options mentioned.

My mk2 2ltr has been running a Sierra Bosch dizzy kit from Burtons i bought way back in 1994!! still going strong. They still sell them , the kit is a stck Sierra dizzy & amplifier with all wires etc, you will need a modern coil though. Best 50 squids i ever spent on that car !!

still looking guys?
