Pointless 18D2 conversion

Forums

Has anyone tried the Powerspark conversion which is cheap and simple to fit?.

I have! I bought this system 18 months ago for my 61 Dominator 99 andit has performed without fault. I have the 12v positive earth one, i also have an electronic reg/rectifier and run a single coilwith Bosch plugs.I'm surprised that no one else has one of these, although the 18D2 was only fitted to a few Nortons i guess.The only problem it has as far as i can tell, is this; The pick up magnet which sits underneath the rotor arm is slightly too thick, which can cause the rotor arm to foul the 'reinforcing webs' on the inside of the cap. I got round this by carefully dressing out the inside of the cap with a die grinder. (a dremel or similar would do!) The kit is very well made and the instructions could not be clearer.I getoccasional emails about new products and it would apear that product support is good. In my opinion, although not a fully electronic system (as you stil are reliant on caps/rotor arms) for the price, worth ago!!

I dont think so, as the base of the disributor is not disturbed, the timingshould be ok. My installation was during a renovation so I had to in my case anyway!
