Re: NEW DK4A Distributor for Austin 7 and Big 7 £129.95

Good afternoon.
My distributor has just arrived sans any information. I am assuming the red wire goes to the coil and the black to earth.
What is the purpose of the large screw? It doesn't appear to do anything but would make an ideal entry point for the oiler.

Hi Stuart
There was a very basic wiring diagram with mine.. on mine both wires go to the coil, one to get the power for the unit and the other to feed the coil with the "pulse". trouble is I cant remember off the top of my head which colour went where..
The large screw is there for lubrication purposes and I intend on fitting the oiler tube there when I get around to it..
I'll see if I can dig out the wiring diagram I have and send you a copy
cheers

Many thanks Robbie and Jim, I found the red and black wires counter intuitive as I've a similar device on the MGB, and wouldn't have thought of connecting it across the coil.

Is there any reason why this shouldn't fit onto a 1930ish coil engine?
