Well. I took mine off today to check and clean and guess what I found, or should I say, didn’t find.



The carbon electrode in the middle had corroded away and so was arching across the gap to the rotor arm.
I put one of my old ones on until I but a new one and now revs higher easier, but is still a bit woolly / fluffy

Hi

Think the copper ones iin theory would be better (longer lasting), but dizzy caps are cheap enough that I wouldn't be too bothered about that.

All the best

I tried to get one and was told that they are no longer available for our car. So i found out what other cars use the same dizzy cap and low and behold they can get one,,, go figure????

Also, i started my car today in the wet and she ran sweet, she used to be very rough in the wet, i tried Ht leads spark plugs, in the past and was about to try coil,,, wahooo!!!
Car is comming along nice

Hi

They are very common as used on loads of Fords (amoung others). XR3i for example, and you can at a pinch use the rotor arm from an XR3i as well (just that the rev limited will come in 500rpm lower).

All the best
