ast2 cam

[benji]

i'm after a ast2 cam. in all the adverts i've seen they are listed for a 1300, is the dizzy fitment the same for a 1400.

where's the cheapest place i can get one?

cheers

not in my experience.

but its an easy remedy.

the end of the cam shaft has the slot drive for the old stylee 1.3

but also has the hole drive for the 1.4

for some random reason the locating pin on the 1.4 dizzy is too long, and the dizzy wont slide into the cam shaft housing enough, neither will the pin locate in the cam.

to remedy this, simply remove about 5mm off the centre locating spindle of the dizzy. et voila!

thats EXACTLY what i had to do when i fitted the ast2 to my 1.4 ignition system.
