Rover Ignition
I have a Rover 3.5 with the original distributor and Pertronix module. I think that the HEI distriutor from a 350 Buick will fit but I'm not sure about hood clearance. I don't have a distributor at hand to measure and try. Has anyone out there tried this? Thanks!

Re: Rover Ignition

Re: Rover Ignition
The HEI dizzy will not clear the hood unless the engine is mounted very low and further back than normal.
I ran one for a while by spacing up the hood- looked terrible. Run the Pertronix and a MSD if you think you need more spark. |
