best distributor replacement for 6 cilinder?

Recommended Posts

I need to replace the distributor on my 6 cilinder series 3. I'd like to go for one of these electronic types, but you can find them at like 70 £ all the way up to over 300 £.

So, simple question: which one to go for? Any help would be appreciated!

I had an Aldon Ignitor on my V8 and that was a decent bit of kit. I'd go for magnetic trigger rather than optical if that's still a choice.

Well, I'd remove the dizzy and fit Megajolt if it was my choice :P

I did like the 6cyl, makes a lovely burble.

I've found SimonBBC's products very good: http://www.simonbbc.com/land-rover

Do you have 25D6 or 45D6 distributor? If it is in good order, you can just fit the pickup and amp, which keeps costs down nicely.

But yes, I would MJ it too :P

looks great, but this really is too complicated (and overkill) for my type of use

I am more looking for a straightforward swap

True if you do not need waterproof etc. however as my dizzy was warn and therefore the problem it was worth it eitherway.

Only with a higher power coil I'd wager. Std. coils are ~3ohms, last high-power one I had (MSD I think) was ~1 Ohm.

I provided the link....which includes the correct coil.
