N/a distributer in turbo engine temperarily
Turbo Mini Forums

I want to get my turbo engine running in the garage to check it's a runner/not broken, the turbo distributer it has is the early type with the strange module that plugs into a connector block. I don't have the module, so I have shoved an n/a electronic distributor in and now gained a healthy spark on crank over. By rotating the body of the distributor slightly left will I avoid detonation due to the differing advance curves.

I must stress it will go in the car when rebuilt with either a turbo distributor or mega jolt.


Thanks.

Should be ok to check so long as there is no load and you set it "safe" advance wise.

Every day is a school day ...........

How fast and how expensive ...... the same question...

it'll be fine dude

just one quickee. when I said it had gained a healthy spark, that was last summer and I pulled everything electronic like off to clean the engine.

Where do the red and black wire connect to from the ignition module on the side of the distrubor?

I have conected the red wire to the positve connection of the coil, is the black an earth or does that go to the negative connection?

Thanks.
