As it says in the title, what are the benefits of fitting an Accuspark A+ 59d distributor

 

Does it really make a lot of difference ?

 

no maintenance required ?

[lrostoke]

you'll be hear tales of increased performance and fuel effiency and better starting.

 

But I would say thats because people often compare worn out old parts to a brand new part.

 

Yes there is less maintenance, no points to adjust. its basically set it up and leave it. Just the usual parts like rotor arms and dizzy caps and leads to worry about.

 

Some people also claim wet weather misfires are cured, didn't notice it, still had to use a weather shield.

mine gets used every day, i'd say go for it, just avoid deep puddles....

i think im going to try and avoid any puddle !

 

Does it really make much of a difference though? I dont want to buy it if its just 'ok' and makes it run a 'bit' better, if you can really tell a difference, like running conditions, starting etc. then i will get it.

 

is it simle just take the old dizzy out and put that one in ?

[lrostoke]

it should be in theory remove old and put in new, remembering you will need to reset the timing.

 

BUT there have been a couple of topics on here where people have had problems after fitting, starters spinning slow , weak spark...the cause seeming to be voltage drops but I don't recall anybody getting to the bottom of why

 

The othe option if there is nothing wrong with your dizzy, is replace the points with a Britpart kit for about £13...basically same module you get in an accuspark dizzy, just fitting it to your old case

The biggest thing is reliability, from the moment you put new points in its a down hill slide until you get starting problems, electronic trigger and it maintains the setting through out.

I fitted the powerspark conversion in place of points.

Best thing I've done.

...... It will fail now. Lol

[tractor]

I'd go with irostrok's suggestion, I did it a little while ago and it's quiet easy to fit and so much easier to maintain

Just have a look and see if you've got a balest ignition or not, it'll make a difference to how you wire the modules mentioned above in.

The loads of topics on here that explain it better than I can

What are thay like at high revs, in race engines ?

[KernowCooper]

Better setup and don't suffer from points bounce and a more reliable spark at high revs, But for race use I'd be using the aldon Igniter its the original and better quality control
