What do you want it for? Is it a stock or wild 2ltr? Road or race car?
Are you after power or just reliability?
If it's a mild streeter go with the link I posted.
If it's for a racer/ decent power maybe look towards gdubs setup.

Does the Pertronix ignitor fit the 1.6l Dissy? Do you know?

Cheers, Brandon.

Thanks heaps :D

Keep checking UK ebay, as they come up from time to time.

example, here's one for 10 quid.

Sometimes you have to bribe the poms so they will post stuff. But above all else, dont get them to go to the trouble, find out postage costs, then back out as this is what has stuffed buying from the UK as many sellers will post to europe but not oz... go figure.

Otherwise, put a wanted ad on one of the english sites like TS, there are plenty over there.

They only came out here on old auspost transit vans, you migh get lucky at a transit wreckers, (always pop the bonnet on transit vans at the wreckers :))

I'll have a dig in the shed, used to have 4 or 5 lying around.

Best distributor option you will get. All brand new except for the shaft

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

I've got a similar setup that another forum member built for me. It's a Magna dissy on a Bosch pinto body. Send a PM to blackvr as he'll be able to give you all the details you need.

Here's what it looks like. Best part is that spares for it are available at pretty much any parts shop unlike some imported stuff.

Has anyone used the 3 wire hall effect sierra dizzy? as i haven't been able to locate a simple igniter module for it.

I have one spare like Fordsy has pictured if your interested, but mine is locked with no mech advance.
