I did say I might be being dumb!

Surely the purpose of the lead is to eliminate the unit on the wing but retain the coil in the circuit.

I can't recall now what the connectors are but in your picture do those wires going into the black block connector go to the coil? I have lost the wiring diagrams I had for this but it took a lot of research to work it all out as the Haynes manuals for example are sketchy on distributors of this age.

Basically I'd have thought you want to eliminate the amplifier in the wing so you do what it takes to do that. I thought the output from the module on the side of the distributor is your new amplifier, therefore whatever used to go from wing mounted amp to coil now needs to come from the module on the side of the distributtor. But being the old git I am I don't think you can do this! Otherwsie I'd have done it when I was fighting my V8 - if it's any encouragement I won in the end.

Thanks Mike. I just want it to run right! It's a case of a Range Rover engine in a Defender, so I’m not sure how true to the original configuration it is. I have a second hand one that is the same, so I might give that one a go. I’m hoping the garage might figure out how to adapt the new one…..otherwise does anybody want to buy a new distributor!!!  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:
