I tried to reinstall the old dizzy but for some reason it doesn’t work, I tried a different one and got the same result. I’m not quite sure what to think about that.
In regards to heat, I had the temp up to 185 and it seemed to work fine. I put about 50 miles on it between yesterday and today and it only started acting up on the last three miles. I’m thinking that this may be a grounding or short issue rather than a primary issue with the dizzy. |

Just out of curiosity, what is the need for the included spacer in these kits and did you have to use it for your application?

Just out of curiosity, what is the need for the included spacer in these kits and did you have to use it for your application? The shaft of the new dizzy is too long and otherwise won't fit snug on the case. So yes, you need the spacer to get it to fit properly in a type 4. |

Reviving an old thread. Thinking about picking up one of these. Was going to start a new thread, but probably makes more sense to keep the info contained on a single thread.
My Q: How many people are running theirs with the stock coil? Given the entrance fee, I don't want to spend any more $ than necessary. |

When installing a 123 it’s recommended you buy a new blue coil

Works great with my D-jet 2.0. |

Found the non Bluetooth version for a bit cheaper here (and only $10 to ship).
I’m running stock DJet. Is the Bluetooth version necessary? 123 Distributor |

Read the first couple of posts in this thread for the right one to get.

Is the Bluetooth version necessary? 123 Distributor Yes, that looks like the correct part number for D-Jet models. Bluetooth is not necessary and in fact is not an option for D-Jet models (unfortunately). I think they didn't have the space to accommodate the trigger point functionality and requirements of Bluetooth. The Ignition 1-2-3 USA sales rep has an account here. You can try PM'ing him if you have questions. |

rjames, You do not need bluetooth. ! Installing mine soon, let me know if you want to collaborate. Purchasing the 123 distributor has been delayed for me. Just found out my MC is leaking. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Keep me posted on how the install goes. I'll get there eventually.... |

Ok, I bit the bullet and ordered the 123 distributor. Hopefully the install goes smoothly. Hope this will help in sorting out the current issues the car is having. The longer it doesn't run, the more I think about selling it when I eventually do get it running...

bumping an older thread to see if those who ordered and installed are happy and they have proven reliable?
It's on my winter list of possible upgrades. TIA Ferg |

Yup, it's solid. I'm happy, and it's still rocking. Mine is the D-Jet one, and I'm using curve "B."

Mine has about 500 miles and not a problem. I have the Bluetooth unit and once I learned how it works the tune-ability is awesome. I tried a couple different curves including vacuum advance but I ended up with a straight line 0-28* at 3k rpm without vacuum advance. You really need a dyno to do anything more custom (or someone riding in the passenger seat to adjust the app while driving). I locked the distributor down at TDC so that my actual timing is equal to the distributor advance reading on the app.
You have to launch the app first, then turn the key on or it won’t connect (this is after the initial pairing). |

Simple install, plug and play. A few hundred miles on mine with no issues so far.
