Had the cavalier on the rolling road a long time ago after getting a new carb, the distributor was junk and the advance springs held the advance open after you had it at speed then would slowly settle leaving it with an idle of 1200rpm.
Found a replacement on eBay and sent it too ignition car parts to be rebuilt with electronic ignition.
Came back all shiny and internals all replaced and fitted with their own brand Ultraspark unit. (No I'd never heard of it either, and the Chinese instructions hinted it was going to be junk)
Took it too rolling road to get it fitted today. Fitted fine, dizzy is all good but the electronic ignition is complete junk. Gets to 4500rpm and the spark wave form just falls apart completely misfires all over the place.
Lots of fiddling couldn't improve it and it killed the torque and hp. Down from 90hp to 76hp and 100ftlb to 88ftlb.
I can't find a replacement electronic ignition for love nor money on the planet.
Does anyone know which dizzy model it would have? It's a remy delco but has no numbers on anywhere.
Must be shared with other marks in the Opel / Vauxhall range.
16S CIH engine.
Maybe I should just go back to points
