Re: DK4 Advance weights

Whilst on the subject of DK4s, as a matter of interest, does anyone have any experience of the Distributor Doctors electronic conversion for them?
Thanks,

Yes -- have recently fitted six volt positive earth system as supplied by Powerspark, Bromsgrove. It works a treat and as it comes complete with new base plate, is a diddle to fit.
My Opal loves it.

Re: DK4 Advance weights

I'd be interested to know the difference between the Accuspark and DD systems too. How does one set things up when one doesn't have points? The video online seems to show them getting the distributor right with points, and then adding the module!

The last job your points will do is to indicate firing point just before TDC, say on number one. Distributor is then removed, converted to electronic ignition and simply refitted with rotor arm pointing in identical direction. You will know if there is too much advance as it sounds rough -- best way I found was to go for a test drive which, in my case, indicated too much retard (like my old school reports) so easy to rotate distributor a tad clockwise to advance.
