Re: [alfa] Bosch distributors

["Dean" <tessiedog@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We did see electronic distributors on  carburetted alfettas, if the
distributor on the spica injected cars have nothing to do with each other
then it should work. I can give part numbers from the manual if it helps.
Basically its just a stand alone distributor with a module.

> I hope the person suggesting swapping a Bosch (L-Jet) 4C distributor into
a Spica car has done some modification.   The standard L-Jetronic uses
flywheel magnetic sensors to an electronic box (not part of the injection,
though it is used for injector timing pulses).  You'll find the inside of a
Bosch (82-90) Spider distributor empty.   I suppose you could retro fit some
kind of hall sensor in there.  There's no mechanical or vacuum advance in
them stock.   The 91-95 Motronic cars are integrated.

Marelli-Plex which was very popular in the 80's, and the RML electronic
conversion that at least used to be available to fit to your existing
distributor.
