pugbliss 0 Posted July 31, 2007 Hi i need another dizzy to run my car but can only source a 1.9 type but the car is a 1,6. would this have big diffrences? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
j_turnell 136 3 Cars Posted July 31, 2007 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob_the_Sparky 9 Posted July 31, 2007 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

welshpug 1,651 Posted July 31, 2007 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.

pugbliss 0 Posted August 1, 2007 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??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,651 Posted August 1, 2007 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
