|
|
Hello everyone
Can anybody give me some advice on a replacement ignition coil for my 10 gs1. It's a 12v system.
Also does anybody know the original part no?? Would it have been a Lucas?
Cheers
Peter |

Thanks Rick
I have looked on line and found a Lucas 12v DLB100 which has screwed connectors it states standard coil for use on older cars.
I found an earlier post where someone said that Lucas do not make coils anymore and the types with Lucas stamped on are copies is that true?
I asked the question because there seemed to be quite a few different types.
Cheers

Hi all
Got a replacement coil and condenser plus new points and plugs. Cleaned the carb and found two jets were blocked.
Set the timing by cranking untill piston 1felt at TDC checking points opening with a twelve volt bulb via two crocodile clips. (Still haven't found any timing marks)
Checked compression.
Changed oil and flushed radiator.
Gave it a whirl and it fired up first time in nearly 15 years !!! Was really chuffed I can tell you. |
