runs heaps better revs better with the points dizzy.

My old one was from a metro

I ran a Pertronix 1 in a 45D dizzy for years and it was great, but the dizzy was worn; = some spark scatter.
The Pulsars are good but I think this new dizzy with a Pertronix II will have a hotter spark and be easier to change the advance curve on. Unlike all my old Lucas dizzys (most of which are now drive dogless) this one is NEW, = not worn and loose. :lol:

I got mine delivered too this week, note no advance specs come with this dizzy (D170600 model)
GR says the advance plate fitted is 12°, and the light springs in it allow the centrifugal advance to be all in by 3200 rpm.
Just right for an RE13, or my RE282 cam. 8)
He also says the Flamethrower coils are the duck's guts, they give a serious spark.

It took about 10 days, they came via USPS Priority Mail.
I could have got them a little quicker (and dearer) with insured Express Mail, but the car is off the road at the moment anyway. :lol:

These people (Retrorockets) obviously are happy with the US Postal Service, I bet if they shipped here via UPS or FedEx etc they would be well over US$100 freight, not US$41. :wink:

Not tried it yet, as the only Mini we have on the road right now is my wife's 1293, and it's an A+... so this dizzy won't fit without a dog change. :cry:

It's going in my 1360 when car is painted, but that's 2 or 3 months away.
