Default Cosworth Dizzy.
Hi all, i have a sierra saphire cosworth 4x4. The bottom end is a 2wd and the head is a small turbo ESCORT COSWORTH HEAD. Now, my question is, which type of dizzy cap etc do i require? this seems to be a mine field.
Also could anyone give me the firing order.

Thanks Terry

Depends what ht leads you have, if they are straight on the dizzy end then 2wd, if the have a right angled end then 4x4

If your leads are straight, then use an angled cap.
