they mount differently, shaft length is different aswell as drive dog

lookin for another clubby

Yeah I know this, just wondered what Brett did different to make it fit, and clamp it down.

I haven't finished with it yet...

Pretty much the same as an A series. I managed to get hold of a dead A+ points type dizzy and just swapped the dog off that.

At the moment it has a very crude clamp holding it in place jammed under the oil bypass pipe. I have only run it on the floor, it's not in the car yet.

I reckon I will try drilling/filing a slot for the A+ bolt (minus clamp) to swivel in on a smaller radius than the Nissan clamp. If that does not work, I'll cut the Nissan slot off and try to get an A+ clamp to fit.

Thanks, Brett.
I was going to make the dizzy body mods as per the other 3, then make a 1/2 circle clamp from 5mm plate, still using the A+ bolt..

My main concern was whether the diameter or body length of A+ dizzy is different.

Hell, I'll pull it out for a look...

I'll pinch the drive dog off it to try.

The diameter is the same, body length may be different. I know the shaft length was different, I think it was shorter on the A+?

I must be losing my mind or summat - cannot remember what I did to the dizzy three months ago!

I can check it as the engine is at a mate's place at the moment, not in my shed...

No hurry. Motor's not going anywhere, car's still not painted yet...

I'll pull dizzy out next weekend, after I've done the other 3!

OK, couldn't wait, so I pulled the dizzy from the 1275A+ today for a look...
Dizzy body is the same diameter and length as A series, drive dog is different, as is the driveshaft in the block.
Roll pin diameter is much smaller than A series but is in about the same place.
Maybe the Pulsar pin will fit??

[Best way to mount it in an A+ I think is turn the dizzy around a bit, and put the A+ clamp bolt thru the dizzy's slotted flange. Slot will need to be made wider. Probably the driveshaft will need to be turned a bit too to get timing set right]. Good idea (not), see below..
<edit>
OK, I checked out putting the Hitachi dizzy in the A+ block today. The mounting flange is about 180* from where it needs to be, to use the stock clamp bolt. Vac canister hits the starter with present flange position, so that method is no-go unless I slice vac canister off and run without..

Body length and diameter is OK, shaft just needs a few mm ground off the end and an A+ drive dog fitted.

I think if the Pulsar flange were trimmed off the dizzy as per the mod for an A series, a little filing of the ribs on the body will let the stock A+ clamp finger do the job.


I'm not fitting it in until I can get another A+ drive dog. I'll keep the A+ dizzy intact.

my dad is trying to find out how to wire up a lucas electronic dizzy fitted to a A+ engine,,

anyone able to help us out with a wireing diagram

thanks

Not sure mate... maybe this guy can help


I'll see if i can find you some wiring diagrams when i get home from work... bout 930 ish.
I saved a whole bunch of them from some danish mini site.

How about a programmable dissy. Not cheap though!

OK I've now had the Pulsar dizzy running in Barney's 1293A+ for a few months. No problems.
I had to bush the hole in dizzy shaft (because I'd drilled it out for the old 1098) to fit the smaller A+ pin, and machine 1.0mm off the top of the drive dog so the thrust washer would fit.
Apart from 20 secs of filing, as said in post above, that's it!
