Really Dumb Question
 

Hey all,
I have a question for the wise. Will a 1.7L Dizzy work on a 2.0 liter? The system has the default F.I and will stay that way. I seems to hookup ok. Thoughts, prayers?......
Thanks!
Steve

Yup! I had asked this question not too long ago as well. The only difference is the advance curve. Check out http://mail.dgi.net/914/tech/distrib.html for the particulars. I am/was running a 73 1.7 dizzy on a 2.0 and it worked fine, but I think mine is worn (still worked pretty good).
Good Luck

You might have to put your 1.7L vacuum advance unit on the 2.0L distributor. You can read the recent Worn Distributor thread about my struggles with a 1.7L dizzy on my 2.0L car.

One good thing about the 1.7 is you can get one of those Cardone rebuilt units for cheap.

THANK YOU!
 

Fellas,
I do appreciate your quick response!. I was hoping like #$%% that I didn't have to buy another dizzy. I have a new Crane Fireball XR700 E.I in the puppy. They work fantastic, but are a pain in the caboose to put in and tear out.
Again Thank you,
Steve

Ya cant beat $61.00 for a rebuilt distributor though! Just inspect very carefully befor you leave the store!:D

Ha Ha will put that on my list, if this doesn't fly.
