its not a rev limiter is it ?? i ent got a clue just guessing

[General Baxter]

how would i know if its a limiter, when im asking you lot what it is :wink: :lol:

[burgo]

did you try running it with it on??

[General Baxter]

it has allways been on!

i would try and make it work with out it on, but i dont think it would as there a 3 wires blue/brown/white going into the dissy :( :?

[burgo]

had it got another plug to attatch it to the rest of the loom ??

[david dixon]

sounds like a rev limiter or a spark enhancer!

[General Baxter]

what you see in tho photo is whats there

the wire going to the coil is going to the black wire on the coil is thats any help :?

the wires comming from the dissy only go in to the box and dont go to the cars loom :?

[burgo]

i recon a rev limiter then, altho i have never seen one like that before.

[david dixon]

there again it could be running your ignition timing, iv seen it before on vauxhall engines, mk2 cav 1.6 carb engines have something like that!

[burgo]

what you recon thats like en electronic advance thingy lol, instead of vacume advance

[General Baxter]

where it goes into the car

http://www.streetrace.co.uk/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=2373

[david dixon]

is your vacume t-pieced into anywhere or not?
think that box is controlling your advance!

[burgo]

lol its bin nicely bodged in what ever it is

[General Baxter]

is your vacume t-pieced into anywhere or not?
think that box is controlling your advance!

just goes from the pump, to the thingy with the screw to the carb, :?

[david dixon]

Yeah its got to be something to do with the dizzy timing! sure of it.

[Donova]

why not just disconnect it and see what happens? :?: :?

[General Baxter]

im going to rip the hole loom out and start again!

i have connectors for 8 yes 8 horns :?

[maxpaine]

what carb do you have? and its that egine original on that car?

[General Baxter]

has orginal engine

it did have an auto choke carb, but i swaped it for a webber 32/34

[Nick]

lol, you wont need to paint the engine bay

already looking a bit yellowy orange. bargain

[Dave]

why not just disconnect it and see what happens? :?: :?


i'd go with his option, take it out carefully an see if it runs ok if it doesn't put it back in an leave it in!

[Aragorn]

its an ignition controller from a mk3 cav carb

prolly doing the job of the ignition module would do normally or helping set the advance retard curve depending on temperature etc

sounds liek someones bodged in a loom from a cav for some reason

[General Baxter]

why do i have it then?
