Default Bosch/Lucas Distributors - swapping them over
Ive got an xr3i and the Bosch distributor is pretty knackered. I cant source a new one very easily but Lucas are easy to find brand new. So i was wondering if theres anything else that needs changing if you swap the distributor type? Does the ignition amp have the same connector?
Cheers, Harry

Just wondering, why do you want to change it?

Whats so knackered about yours? Not much to go wrong on them apart from the ignition module
