Hows it going all

My ea81 keeps killing distributers on my 4th now and as just died have changed all leads spark plugs and coil but still it died. It is running a big cam could this be the reason for the trouble. I have tried to find a new one on the net with out any success any idea's? Or does any one have any good second hand ones.

cheers chris

what is happening to the dizzy is it a complete destruction or is the gear being destroyed by the engine?

ebay has one but its not cheap and in America mind you it is a electronic ignition one

are you a young un of our society that has grown up in a throw away society? You no say what type of dizzy whether it is kettering or electronic. Both have replaceable components. Kettering you can buy contact points, condensor and points file set using feeler gauge and or dwell meter. The electronic has a module that can be sourced from parts joints I hope or Subaru.

What you got? Any visible damage?

Does your coil have the resistor?
