Replacing Marelli Dizzy

[wit61]

Pelican indicates that the bosch replacement for the Marelli dizzy is on backorder with no ETA ! Does anyone know of an alternate source (new or rebuilt) that has one in stock or a list member with one FS ?

TIA

For a man who obviously has a fine taste in cars, I will point you to the search function.

Search for "Marelli" with the username "Fishcop". Or click the link below:

Basically, you can probably find a 2.7CIS distributor and get it machined (if needed) to fit. Then you get it recurved and you're done.

Should be cheaper than the "new" price.

It is cheaper!

I couldn't figure out if you ever had yours recurved?

[Fishcop]

No I haven't yet. The curves are remarkably similar and I am lazy... The wheels will be off the car for a couple of weeks from next week (for restoration), so I'll probably send the dizzy away at that stage. I've been quoted $125 for full rebuild and re-curve. As it doesn't need a rebuild, the re-curve shouldn't cost me too much.

Still got snow over there? Absolutely starting to cook here again!

Didn't make it down this year, but I hear from someone at work that it has been raining on Ruapehu. NOT good for snow cover.

South Island might still be ok.

Hey CamB,

Thanks, your taste in cars is not too shabby either
