Bosch distributor was used only on the 1983-1984 Series 2 Bluebird, in Australia

4-pin connector
large cap
cast metal ignitor box

To get the best from it, you will need to use the matching high energy type coil. That will really make those plugs throw a spark

DatRats did conversions to A-series when they were still operating.

Modifications

Machine off the flange and lathe to proper diameter then cut to length.

  • regraph
  • test
  • add A-series cog

NOTE: Although it looks different, both L-series and A-series distributors rotate anticlockwise when viewed from the top.

Clamp

After lathing the distributor shaft, a hold-down clamp must be fitted.

DatRats fitted a billet aluminum hold-down clamp:

Wiring

Just remove the ballast resistor, re-join the wires and voila! electronic distributor. Never renew them bloody points again!
