The V8 Owners Forum -

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

Come on where are the pics???

Use photobucket or something to upload them, then paste the IMG links here.

just had ago, never used photo bucket before so heres hoping.
well i impressed my self there. will try and upload a few more some time

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.

Thanks for that, sorted it now, found a spare dizzy in the box of bits that had the two terminal amp on the side ,so swapped them over
