X flow Distributor

[Crumpynut]

I have an 87 Xflow which has a lucas distributor. The rotor arm has part no 533 3786 and has (had) an inverted metal slotted cup bonded to the underside which I assume triggers the spark.

Said metal cup is no longer attached, and sparks have subsequently ceased.

Are these rotor arms still available and if so where from.

If not I assume I will need a new distributor, any recomendations and can anyone advise on timing set up etc.

As a last resort has anyone tried bonding the two parts back together.

I'd have to recommend going Megajolt 😬

but otherwise I'm led to believe these rotor arms are available.

Revin Kevin is the man to ask I believe.

If you're very stuck and anxious to stay on a dizzy I can recommend switching to a Bosch Valencia Dizzy from a mid 80's Escort /Fiesta.

It is, or was a common problem, no longer used, araldite usually did the trick. Swap to an Aldon ignitor.

Megajolt is a great winter project. It completely transforms the tractability and overall driveability of the car.

I think I have an Aldon dizzy in the garage that came off my 1700 Xflow, I had the same issue a year or so ago and had to change.

 

Blatmail if interested.
