Petronix Flamethrower is a nice upgrade...

For my own info, what distributor did Caterham use on their Crossflow motors? I'm pretty sure there were Lucas, Bosch, and Motorcraft (Autolite?) distributors used on the various Crossflow applications over the years.

 

Just to add to the supplier possibilities, if the distributor matches up with the Formula Ford application you could try Pegasus Racing: [/url]https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/group.asp?GroupID=IGN1600

 

Or BAT: http://208.109.215.220/files/ffnet.pdf

 

Or if you can cross-reference to a 1.6 liter Pinto or Fiesta you could even try Rock Auto: http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/x,carcode,1135088,pgname,Ignition

 

If it's a Lucas distributor then you could check out Moss Motors, Victoria British, and the other US-based LBC suppliers.

Believe that Caterham used the Lucas 43 that was re-curved by Aldon.

 

I recently had my distributor refreshed and recurved here:

In speaking with Jeff, he believes that the advance from Aldon isn't optimal in the US due to the difference in gas between here and the UK.

 

Distributor is working well, looks great (he polishes all the distributors), and price is reasonable.

Mine appears to be Lucas 43. For those that need to know, the side entry disti cap part number is 54400270 as stamped on the inside.

 

This is also the following:
