1983 HPE carb, electronic ignition, matching a 79-81 model
As mentioned in the members section, I identified a faulty rotor arm [open circuit] in
my Bosch (non-vac advance) distributor
that put me in a layby to await a tow truck. [ engine splutterd and stopped]
With Peter's help, and research I found that it's extremely likely I needed
a 5k ohm equipped rotor. I ordered an Beru EVL029.
In the meantime, A local motor factor identified a Bosch equivalent which I bought.
Upon testing the Bosch, it's reading 1k ohms. I then received the Beru item
and that reads 5k ohms.
The 1k works but i'm still not 100% sure.
So, does anyone have a definitive figure published anywhere? Neither Haynes nor my later
Lancia info sheets have it stated.
I also don't know the effect if the wrong one is fitted long term.
