Dinky26 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Has anybody tried this conversion, ie: dumping the points and rotor. ?? http://www.hot-spark.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubastreet Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 You'll still need the rotor with that. Probably cheaper anD easierer to use a stock Subaru electronic distributor which does just the same thing. Or to go distibutorless, use one of the kits that use the Ford edis modules such as megajolt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subnz Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Agree with getting a stock breakerless electronic Subaru distributor (it still has a rotor though) although not sure / never done a conversion myself. It make sense as a Subaru one off an EA 81/82? should bolt straight in? Not sure if ignition module is in the distributor or an external separate box. someone else will know. Have forgotten what EA82 one was like on Leone. Never had any issues with these. and are far superior to old breaker style distributors with better continuous smoother running / timing without breaker/condenser deterioration and corresponding performance / starting ability. I still have the old breaker type one in my Brumby - it runs harshly not as smoothly as my Leone ever did with breakerless one - should upgrade mine . Had an 86 Leone ( GL / Loyale) wagon with one of these breakerless electronic types in it, owned it for 14 years (23 years old - til 09 when I sold it) never had to touch the ignition system with it in that time, apart from replacing spark plugs. and checking the ignition timing out of curiosity twice - never had to adjust it Never replaced the leads either - probably should have but no starting / running issues.
