24v distributor

hey guys,

just a quick one from me,

To get the s111 running properly i need a 24v distributor, I had a 'LR specialist' look at it and he said that i needed the full thing. Problem was, i had no money at the time.

So do i need to get HT leads and Distributor cap, rotor arm? or will it be one over the other?

Cheers fellas

i may have a used one if you remind me by pm

What's the difference between a 24v and a 12v one?

all the 24 v ones ive seen are in sealed housing

pm on way

So why wouldn't a 12v one work just as well?

it would mechanically but little points etc wouldnt last long

Why? Twice the voltage, half the current, points should last longer. I thought the expensive bit about the 24v ignition system was the shielding 'cos most 24 volters were FFR.

hi i have a one for sale with leads pm me if u still need one

interesting, it is an FFR, but the guy never mentioned anyting, he just said that i might want to do a full 24v - 12v conversion.

So would a 12v dissy work?
