ok so ill need the coil and dissy and cap is there anyting else ill need as i might have a look in blaxland wreckers tommorow :)

Make sure the cap and rotor is OK, if they're worn you can get new ones from Repco, Auto One, Pep's etc.
Info how to mod it is on p1 of this thread. :wink:

Whether it's an 83 or 85 doesn't really matter, either will perform better than any old POS Lucas one. :wink:

If the SU carby has a tiny connector on front of it put a hose on there, if not just leave it. If you have Weber or Dellorto, leave it- there's nowhere to connect.
"Performance 4s don't need this crap to make power.. eg Cooper S, Alfa & Fiat twin cams, etc."
It's an economy device, nothing more. When the pedal is to the metal, the vacuum advance does SFA. 8)
