Mopar Muscle Association UK

Found this beauty in my 'collection' , it appears to be a 318 distributor, vaguely recall a mate who had an Aussie Charger gave it to me years ago, this is born out by the marking LUCAS AUSTRALIA down the side of it.
Just curious if anyone recognises the electronic pick up contained within, doesn't look Mopar & my gut feeling is it's a converted points unit.

Observe....

Mike, nothing I recognise there.

Dave 999 will probably be able to identify it. I'm wondering if it's a Luminition conversion, I used one of their kits donkeys years ago but I can't remember now if it looked like that.

That's what I thought Blue looks like one to me put one on my MGB back in 1973

Not convinced it's lumenition, although the rotor arm does have a touch of the Lucarse about it .

I think Luminition was optical, and that one seems to be magnetic, so it's probably something else, Pertronix maybe?

you mean....

similar but not close enough

Aussie Lucas and Bosch dizzys were hybrid

everything below the advance plate was the parent company everything above was Mopar under licence

so it would have a recognisably Mopar reluctor star and pickup if it was leccy

most VH chargers had points most VJ had electronic

so it looks like an early Petronix in a points dizzy

if they are magnets on the collar then in that black thing is a hall effect trigger

easy burnt out if you leave it stopped with ignition on and a magnet aligned with the trigger

if it was luminition I think there would be 3 wires coil + coil - and 12 volts for the little light beam
