I might have a j number from inside the cap for that ebay dizzy, as I have one with a cap.

whitesedan

i have one in my a15ett,

mine came with busted cap, i actually found a cap for it in a spare parts box at the 1600 workshop, dont know what it came off, but something has them here

can supply pics if required

i'm still looking for a second hand datrats unit if any1 wants to sell

any coil will work but for better performance get a 40 000v to 45 000v coil
gt40 would do fine

Quote:Sadly, I can't. I don't even know what make of distributor that it is, but knowing that would be a good start, as would knowing just exactly what engine & car it was made for.

Do we know if this was intended as a high energy ignition, or simply a standard output ignition? The High Energy types are often distinguished by a larger diameter cap so as to space the terminals further apart, & this type requires a high output coil, such as the Bluebird [& many others] use.

If you can determine the make & model number of the distributor, then give Google a bit of a flogging & see if you can come up with some info, after all, that's what the internet's for.

I wish I could be more helpfull.

[Edit] If you have one of these Crown remanufactured distributors, then the 'fit' chart on their listing will tell you just what models used it.
Armed with this info you may care to ask if any of our US members would purchase the needed parts on your behalf & mail them over. A Paypal account would be an advantage as would a double order of parts so that you aren't stranded if a cap or rotor should fail.

Then again, ebay is good.

hope this helps couldnt find a rotor

Dodgeman, can you shed any light on this dizzy, do I need any special coil or will a elec coil from bosch work?

I don't know of anyone who actually has a Datrats distributor, that has reason to complain about the quality or performance, but if you can churn out a cheap & nasty version on a lathe & make it work properly, then good fortune to you, but mine came with a new module & wiring harness too.

I love it

Yep thats why I cant find Cap or Rotor for one, heres a pic
