I bought my engine with the carbs on it and the dizzy looked exactly like that, & I've heard it's the MkII cav dizzy. Fittings onto head & into cam look right.
Don't pay more than a drink for it - unless you wanna pay over the odds just cos it's new looking. - These things are littered around the scrappies.
its got my vote. Ive obviously never done the conversion myself, but every guide or thread ive read, early 1.8 or 1.6 dizzy is the topic of discussion.
I presume the associated coil pack and wiring is included, otherwise you are no better of than the standard XE dizzy.
That blue connector is the optical sensor for the cam lobes inside the dizzy, mk2 cavs used this is instead of the old fashioned points breaker.
are there any part numbers on it starting 90, caould then double check in EPC for you.
£100 buys you a used old Formula Vaux Lotus MBE system, with correct Advance curve(well better than the Cav one I reckon)
7250 rev limit, does not use Dizzy pickup and utilises original coil etc. I actually got a coil with my kit which I didn't need.
Well happy with my sys for what it is.
I can send you the guys email address if you want, Ace customer service as well.
Non mappable, well unless you can figure out how to program the microcontroller/EEprom..... still good for £100? Forgot to say harness, coil and wiring diag is included.
Rev limit to low, you running cams? what's the limit with that Cavy dizzy? Rev limit adjust is same as above- maybe MBE could help?

same - there would b no point me having a 7250 limit - if its mappable then that would b ok as the cams will come later but if not their aint alot of point
I think the Cav dissy will have to be modified to get the max advance etc but suppose it should rev to 8k, well it best had do anywaylmao .
