Distributor

[blue1]

I am looking to replace my fomoco distributor (black cap).

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I cannot find bosch type and roger has something similar to fomoco. I have seen a SIERRA MK1 XR4i DISTRIBUTOR & CAPRI MK3 2.8iV6 DISTRIBUTOR would these be an alternative.

Also I would like to go electronic.

I suggest you try Queensbury Road garage Kettering. ( Nigel)
I am fairly certain they have a bosch unit for the V6. They also do Luminition kits.
The 2.8 unit requires and external amplifier as well as the distributor, but I am sure Nigel will be able to assist and answer that question.

As discussed before in the 3ltr Tech Section, once you get rid of the points and go electronic the Formoco unit is perfectly ok;
even if there is some play in the bearings it will function just fine. When I took my Mk1 to Rick Woods Dyno I asked if there would be any advantage getting a 'Sports' dissy for improved advance curve, Rick said it would be a waste of money. I'am using the Aldon Ignition sytem (magnetic switching) and getting 160 BHP at the wheels.
