Says it all in the description really! Was built in the early 90s, so cossie management was probably fitted to it originally before the aftermarket ecu. Someone on here will probably know the history of it ad it was built by AVA

I might get shot down here but i dont think the conversion looks that bad.I do agree that they could of used the orginal coil pack system.

back in the early days cossie management was considered te best and fairly cheap, hence why the dizzy was used, people could repair them back then.
it's a well done conversion by the looks of it, i wouldn't shudder away from it, but aftermarket ecu's are all over now so i'd have changed over long ago to get rid of a mechanical timing device.
