Happy days! :lol:
That is a good reminder to everyone that now is the best time to be buying things from the states as their economy is surprisingly worse than ours.

Hmmm.. I've bought from them before, they are good. But, they still say on their site under shipping that they won't ship coils or wire sets, so how did you swing it?
PM me if you like, but at those prices I wanna buy one too. 8)

Thanks LS1380

You will have to let us know how it runs etc.

What engine is it going in to

I have a 1360, RE13 cam, big valves, twin Su 1.5 and want a decent dizzy

Cheers

So, is it in yet? :lol:
re the advance curve, I saw somewhere that this dizzy comes with 3 sets of springs- is this correct?
