As this is the older style of Rover distributer and coil the ignition module is large metal unit that sites with the coil attached the passenger wing – never versions like the 35DLM8 have a 3 or 2 pin ignition module directly mounted on the distributer.<\/p>\n

Inside this unit there is a suppressor and 4 ping GM module that seem to be working fine so a whole new unit isn’t needed just yet.<\/p>\n
