35dlm8 vs STC1856 remote module

The DLM dizzy uses a VR, not hall effect sensor. And yes, it produces a fairly normal voltage for these sort of things - I've used one with a MegaSquirt no problems.

Hi, does anyone know if you can replace the 35dlm8 distributor amplifier module with the remote stc 1856 module.

I have tried but have failed to get a splutter. I have taken the amplifier from the STC1856 and attached it directly to the distributor and it works fine. The cables on the stc1856 seem to be ok so I just wondered if the 35dlm8 Hall effect bits were capable of driving a strong enough signal to the remote unit.

Regards Ian

Ian ,
You need to earth the casing on the amp to get it to work when using it remotely.

Jim, as usual you are hopefully saving my day. I had just read up on VR sensors and was about to attempt to test it. Probably would not have had much success though.

I had checked the earth on the module and it seemed OK but I will add an earth wire and see what happens.

The car is still running well since I re jetted it....thankyou for the jets....and I am now attempting to get it to start first ish time when hot as opposed to turning over about 10 times. I am guessing its fuel vaporisation and that the carb is either to lean cos the petrol has gone or too rich as its breathing vapour rich fuel from the evaporated stuff.
