Possibly Piranha.
Does it have a silver finned box, about 4" square wired in to it?

[tony g]

No, it just has 2 wires out of the dizzy straight to the coil + and -, bit like a powerspark.

Should just add it has a standard rotor arm and dizzy cap too

Its a conversion from H and H ignition solutions Tony.
I have them on both my Sprints at present.
The problem is that you can't go back to points as the cam is no longer.
I think they use a mitsibushi module, but if you send them that photo the will sell you spare modules for it.
I rum mine with a DLB198 high power coil and they make a decent spark as long as the rest of the dizzy is in good nick.

Hope that helps.

Tom.

Tony, looked at the ignition module picture on Flickr and couldn't resist having a nosey look at the Photostream, hope that is OK.
I like the side mounting for the engine stand but mainly wondered how you got on with the Electric Water Pump setup. Any problems or tips you could pass on? Like what about the heater and how did you work the plugs in the old pump location? I have the EWP kit but have been reluctant to use it up to now.

Hi Russ no problem having a nosey mate, I kept it public for that reason. Side mount works a treat and especially good on our engines as we can fit the flywheel and clutch and ali adapter etc. EWP is pretty straight forward to fit. Tips would include NOT hard mounting the pump, just let the hose do the work. They can and have failed when mounted rigidly due to vibration etc and a friend has damaged 2 on a rover v8 set up before he realised it shouldnt be mounted.
The original water pump needs a bung to replace it and the club sell a nice brass one with o rings so thats easy enough.
On mine I did away with the bypass tube and its temperamental o rings by knocking in 2 core plugs in the manifold and pump cover.
Heater was not brilliant as I had it piped wrong (as shown in the pics) The return pipe is now fed into the bottom hose AHEAD of the pump. This has improved it a lot but I need to get a proper test on the road really as before I was getting overcooled. The EWP does some funny things sometimes and I thought mine was playing up but its normal it seems. The very latest controller looks better imo.
If theres anything specific you want to know just ask

I spoke to the H and H guy at stoneleigh the other week and showed him the photo of the dizzy and he said yes its one of theirs. Well done Tom
