Yes the advance curves are completely different, i take it you have done a forsale thred? i would imagine a 1.6 dizzy would be easy to come buy, ill have one forsale shortly!

It will run, how well is another question though due to the ignition curve difference. Not sure if anyone has direct experience of doing this or not. Clearly not ideal but I imagine it will be fine for a temporary measure, e.g. don't pay good money for the wrong type.

the most ideal thing to do considering the age of the youngest 205 dizzy is to send it off to H&H ignition solutions to be rebuilt to your exact specification, be it cams carbs and exhaust, or completely stock engine and setup, they can optimise them to suit.

if i had that sort of money i would, i posted my question as i need the car back on the road asap and the quickest dizzy i can get is the 1.9 one. I just wondered if and what would happen if i put it on? i understand they have diffrent advance curves but how does it affect running the car???

it wont pull as well and will drink more, but it wont affect the engine in any way, I've had a 1.6 dizzy on my engine unbeknown, what a diference it made when I fitted a brand new unit :(
