Hello Good Rover People,
While dealing with other motor issues, I want to up grade the distributor in our 95 D1 3.9L. I've ordered a Pertronix D175520 from Ebay, the new distributor has the amplifier attached directly to the distributor body. AB offers the same Pertronix D175520 kit with the amplifier and adapter to connect to the original harness, but it's twice the cost. The existing Lucas dizzy in the D1 has the amplifier mounted near the coil on the radiator support. So my questions are, should I leave the amplifier on the new Pertronix or remove the amplifier attached to the Pertronix and relocate it to the radiator support? I'm assuming I'll need to adapt the wiring to do this. Also, should I replace the existing Lucas coil (silver colored) and if so what should I use?
Thank you, I appreciate the knowledge this forum offers.
