Hey guys i know that datrats do an excellent conversion on the S2 bluebird dizzy to be compatible with the A series, but what is actaully required to do in the process?
Sure changing of timing and the dizzy curve for the engine's specs but is there any internal work that needs doing apart from the the mounting plate and A series drive gear attached to the bottom?
I remember hearing that the counterweights go in the oposite direction but i have been known to be wrong on many occasions

Im a bit strapped for cash atm so im wondering if theres an easier option, but better to pay for high quality work than have someone else f*ck it up hey!

Cheers
Dave

the dizzy spins the same way ... the biggest bit of the work is the machining of the bluey body to remove all the mounting section and getting it right to suit the
aseries hole diameter and depth for the drive gear ....
don't take this the wrong dave but with your track record for things going a little scew wif, i'd go down the datrats path, at least you know the quality will be top notch and you shouldn't have a problem

Ummmm thanks i think

Yeah i know ive had problems with my dattos but jeese its not like i wanted them to happen!
I was mearly inquring into what was done to the dizzy to get it to suit the A series engine, i never once said i'd be doing the work - f*ck no! Wouldnt have the foggiest where to start at all...

I was just wondering if any other engineers or workshop could do the same work kinda thing, post is another issue due to me being in Tassie which = more money.. money i dont have as im most likley moving to melbourne next year so thats gona be quite pricey!

Its either the S2 dizzy, E15 dizzy or petronix/fireball kit for my electronic setup & i already have the S2 (cheers harry) so this looks like my choosen path!

Dave

didn't mean anything in regards to your work or the likes
speak to an auto elec, preferably one that will do regraphingand stuff, then explain what you you're hoping to achieve .... sticking the bluey into the A series and if possible have both dizzies with you so they can see whats needed to be done to the bluey to make it fit ...
in all it's not an uncommon thing and the bluey seems to be the choice for this mod, alot of mg's and other older cars tend to go down this track.

Gday dave I am waiting for my datrats bluey dizzy to rock up at my door here in WA but when it comes I will sell my Pertronix ignitor kit for $100 if your keen? it works great and has only done about 2000km since I installed it, sorry for Hi-jacking the thread just thought incase you decide to go for a cheaper electronic conversion
