Hi All,

I found this site via Robert Maddock and his installation on a 2.25L land rover engine . I have an 1982 land rover with a factory fitted V8 that I have been thinking about changing/upgrading the old points based dizzy.

This system looks ideal, especially since I discovered that a new dizzy is over £200 and there doesnt seem a lot of point to me upgrading a well worn dizzy to electronic ignition.

So............
Has anyone got this running on a 3.5L rover V8?

Cheers

Jon

I've seen it on a Landie - and if I have it running on an old Flathead V8, shouldn't be a problem on a Rover V8! Just do a search of the forum, plenty of people doing it, for instance:-

Hello Jon,

I'm glad to hear that all my evangelising has got somebody else interested. I don't imagine that a V8 will be any problem; you just need the EDIS8 and an extra coil pack. I haven't seen a V8 up close but I would guess that the crank pulley will be available for carrying a timing gear. Lot's of our U.S. side of the pond friends will have done V8s.

I found very few references to LandRovers of any flavour here but there are a few more references on the <a href="http://www.msefi.com/index.php">Mega Squirt forum</a>. It's a similar thing to this but does fuel injection...I don't suppose Brent will mind my mentioning it. Try asking there too. I've heard from a chap who's done Megajolt on a series II that way but seen no mention here.

Keep us in touch with how you get on.

Good Luck!

Robert.

Yep me, 4.5 Eales Rover V8 and Mate with Dizzy carbed V8, both chuffed with the results

I will need to get it an MOT first as I have been rebuilding it from a rolling chassis that I bought. Almost there though so this will be the next big project for it.

Cheers

Jon
