Re: [alfa] replace points??

["Dean" <tessiedog@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I wouldn't bother with a electronic instillation kit designed to fit into
your existing distributor, they are a pain in the ass. Use an original bosch
electronic distributor as fitted to sat a late model 4c (not the twin
spark). I have a brand new (rebuilt) one in the shed. It was reconditioned
and had the advance curve altered to suit the state of tune of the engine.
Its for sale if you want to spend 400 aus dollars (it cost me nearly 600).
I'd just hunt around some alfa shops. Not sure about the drive gear at the
bottom of the shaft however I don't think it will be incompatible.
Cheers
Dean
