The last 40 years my fascination was to learn everything about the old-fashioned ignition systems which were used on oldtimers and classic cars, made between 1930 and 1970. Like the most of you will know the most wellknown manufacturers of ignition systems are Autolite, Bosch, Delco Remy, Ducellier, Ford, Lucas, Marelli, PAL, RB and SEV. However there did exist a lot of other rather unknown manufacturers of ignition systems. My fascination has lead to a very rare stock of ignition parts, including ignition points, distributor caps, rotors and condensors, especially for European micro

Need help identifying vehicle
Electricben replied to reayx5's topic in French (Peugeot, Renault, Citroen, etc.)
If it is identified as a Lancia Appia i would like to inform you that this is an Italian car and certainly not a French car. -
NOS ignitionparts for (nearly) all British made cars from 1930-1970 like distributor caps, rotors, ignition points and condensors. Also available: 6-12-24 volt bulbs, 6-12-24 volt indicator (flasher) units, carbon brushes for startermotor/generator. Send a mail bsilvius@hotmail.com. The photos which are attached are only meant to be as a global impression: with many thousands of different items it is just impossible to show you all ignition items. The majority of the british cars did use Lucas ignition, however sometimes Delco Remy or other makes has been used too. In case of any need pleas

WANTED LAGONDA M45 PARTS
Electricben replied to bruffsup's topic in British (MG, Triumph, Jaguar, etc.)
for most Lagonda models i do have NOS distributor caps (12cyl sold out), rotors, ignition points and condensors. -
Hello Phil, The 652C distributor was not mentioned anymore in my original Delco Remy catalogue from 1948, covering all distributors between 622 and 665 (+ all the newer distributors), covering passengercars as well as trucks. The numbers of the distributors jump from 649 to 660, and unforunately nothing between. However there are 2 other possibillities for getting results. Please take off your old distributor cap and see of numbers are stamped inside the cap. Do the same with the rotor. With some luck you will find numbers (6 or 7 digits). With those numbers i can determine for sure what cap

DKW cars are not difficult to service, however they do have an unusual ignition. The engine has 3 cylinders, each cylinder has his own ignition point and his own ignition coil. If you are not used to work at the ignition of DKW cars, it is usually said (also by "professional" mechanics) that it is a difficult car to service, which is actually not true. The reality however is following. How difficult is it to set the ignitiontiming on a normal car? Not so difficult, is it not? Once when you have set the timing right, the job is done. It is therefore not difficult to set the timing three ti
