    Am I able to swap out an early (1985 Australian 110) 3.5L V8 distributor, Lucas 35D I'm pretty sure, with points, to a later distributor with electronic ignition?

    Are the 2 clips on the distributor can be replaced? I ask because on my defender the 1 clip is almost torn in half, but still holding okay (not too long). Luckily I purchased a new one from Powerspark. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Okay, I bought a distributor for the 3.9 V8 Defender 90 I have. I can't get it to seat down correctly in the notch. Basically, its not going "all the way in". Being the genius (i am not), any help would be appreciated.

    Does anyone know a source for distributor springs ? I want to get some new ones for a NAS 110 as my old ones are slightly stretched. I know I could get an entire replacement aftermarket distributor for not too much money but I'd rather keep the one that I've got and just replace the springs.

    I can't find any Mallory anymore so my question is if petronix distributor will be a direct fit on 3.9 engine for RRC 1995. https://m.summitracing.com/parts/pnx-d151700 Sal

    Well, the Mallory distributor that seems to have been the go-to is NLA. There's a Britpart knockoff of the LR efi US-spec oem ( http://www.roverparts.com/Parts/ERR4738 ), who wants to go first? Nobody? We have this one post...

    My 110 recently fell into a won't start condition here in the rainy PNW & when I got around to looking under the distributor cap to assess the rotor arm, the bits & surfaces atop the distributor seemed funkier than I expected. Is a grimy coating of condensation plus bits of organic matter to be...

    Hi all. Does anyone have the wiring (power) diagram for a 94 D90 distributor? Not the spark plug lines. I need to know where the other lines tie in to. Reason: my mechanic buddy is installing a Mallory unilite and noticed some floating misc lines. Not sure where to hook them up...

    The 2.25l in my 109 is getting replaced by a 3.9l that will be carbuerated. The 3.9l currently has no distributor so I need to source a suitable ignition system. Should I stick with LR parts or look at an after market set up?

    Hi all. Thanks in advance for your help. I have a good mechanic friend working on the wiring of my 94 D90's distributor, coil, etc. He is having trouble identifying these wires. See photos. Also see video but disregard our banter...too many beers. PS: my buddy is from Kosovo, thus the...

    I am running the Mallory Unilte Distributor 4768901. This has a factory preset mechanical advance of 26 degrees. What I did not know is that the 4.6l engine, unlike the original 3.9 that came with the truck, likes a max advance of 28 degrees. So when I am running my idle advance at 10 BTDC...
