Just about to embark on a Megajolt project on my Morris 1100s, was just wondering if I need to remove the distributor drive shaft when I remove the dissy?. Also would it be practical to plug the hole with a correct size core plug?.

Regards,

Ash.

Yes you need to remove the distributor shaft plus plug up the hole
There are a few different plugs available, I think i got mine from an Ausmini member, Ben?

Here is the plug in situ

You can take the dizzy drive shaft out as it is no longer required. You can also put a plug in the hole.

There was a member on the forum who was making some aluminium covers, that bolt in place, but a welch plug still does the trick.

When i set my megajolt up i actually left the dizzy in place incase i had problems with megajolt, which i didn't, just to begin with.

a 50 cent welsh plug works perfectly...

You should not leave the dizzy driveshaft in without keeping the dizzy.
A Welsh plug will be fine.

Maybe :wink:

But it could be very different to your requirements due to different engine builds?

If you PM me I can email you my latest map
