RV8 into JBA falcon

Post by jbafalcon »

Hello, fairley new to the site but been doing a lot of reading over the last few days and there seems to be a lot of knowledge out there. I have a JBA falcon kit car that had a ford cortina donor. it originally ran on a 2 litre pinto. i got it minus engine ,gearbox and a few other bit. i have mated a late 3500 range rover engine converted to carbs to a 5 speed rover sd1 gearbox. its now mounted in the car and ready to wire it and see if it starts. there is a fair bit of wiring to sort.
the first obstacle is the dizzy. i have three terminals on the 35DLM8 any idea which are required :?:

The three terminal amp is a later Lucas replacement - the original had two. The extra terminal is for a screen - not normally used on the SD1 installation. It comes with a 3 pin plug to replace the two pin one and instructions. I'll see if I can find them.
