Guest Jason1446 Posted October 9, 2007 I have talked to several people and some say they are, and some say that the 1.9 has a slightly longer shaft. I have put a 16v into a 1.6 205 and will be using the 8v wiring for the time being, it’s been set up using the 1.6 distributor and a spacer but has broken 2 rotor arms before it even gone on the road. Has any body here had this problem or any thing like it. Sorry if this is in the wrong section feel free to move it if needs be. Cheers… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jason1446 Posted October 9, 2007 I forgot to ask the question, Are they the same or is the 1.9 longer? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DamirGTI 323 Posted October 9, 2007 Hi ! I have 1.9 8v dizzy (last numbers - 066) and some strange Citroen BX 1.6 dizzy (last numbers - 617) And they are the same shape nothing different between them from outside they fit on both 1.9 and 1.6 engines no probs. (but they have different advance curve which is very important..) Cheers ! Damir Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug_ham 240 3 Cars Posted October 9, 2007 I've just measured a 1.6 & a 1.9 dizzy, they are the same length from end to end of the driveshaft at a shade over 91mm. Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jason1446 Posted October 11, 2007 Thanks for that, I think its the different advance curve that might be making the difference. Will try and report back when I have some news.. Regards Jason... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
