I'll just go down and check.. but would that cause sputtering ONLY between certain rev ranges?

but it is a common conversion?
it wouldn't be unreasonable? i couldn't find any info on here about the process of converting a bluebird specifically it's all pulsar and others.. do you have any info on the conversion?

Check you have the right coil because the series 2 blue distributor needs the factory series 2 bluebird coil or a bosch hec715

Hi All,
i think im running a series 2 bluebird dizzy in my a12 (previous owner did the conversion)

a business (who shall remain nameless) decided to use a 1960 morris minor wiper switch as a kill switch and wired it to the coil.. and then.. earthed it on itself! :!:

the result is that the pulse from the dizzy signals has been looped back on itself by a bad killswitch and stuffed the dizzy so now between certain rev ranges it sputters..

the engine has been on a vacuum gauge and had tappets and a tune today and all of that is spot on (done by an automotive engineer)

I think it's an series 2 based on the cap number.. it has a sticker on the side saying dizzyfix?! can't find any info on that company!

Bosch 9220 061 458

I was wondering:
1. Does anyone know a good wrecker I could find a new blubird s2 dizzy from in good nick?

2. Would it be cheaper to find someone who fixes these? and could you recommend?

3. Would it be smarter to go back to using a stock a12 dizzy and if so would i need to change my coil?

4. Would there be a different electric setup that is preferable to the s2 bluebird?

Thanks so much,
Tom
