REPAIR

ELECTRONIC IGNITION - V8i

A Lucas 35DLM8 distributor is employed. This has a
conventional vacuum advance unit and centrifugal
automatic advance mechanism.

A pick-up module, in conjunction with a rotating timing
reluctor inside distributor body, generates timing
signals. These are applied to an electronic ignition
amplifier module mounted on side of distributor body.

NOTE: Pick-up air gap is factory set. Do
not adjust gap unless pick-up is being
changed or base plate has been moved.

Use a non-ferrous feeler gauge to set air gap.
