Here we have a Complete V8 Ignition Upgrade Kit
What is this listing for?
A brand new Ignition upgrade kit containing all you need to increase & enhance performance, efficiency and reliability of the somewhat compromised original Rover Ignition system. Normally required for your V8 and essential for all LPG and upgraded engines including EFi and Carburettor types.
The equipment supplied:
- New High Quality brand new re-manufactured Distributor
- Including our bespoke A&R Ignition Power Amplifier
- Plus Magnecor 8.00mm Plug Leads
- Set of V8 NGK BP6ES Spark Plugs
Brand New Distributor suitable for almost all Rover V8s.
The Distributor comes with:
A complete brand new distributor with vacuum advance unit.
Will it fit your vehicle?
This item is suitable
as a direct replacement for all Rover V8 distributors by
upgrading this distributor to run with our exclusive RPi Power Amp
(Available in dual timing for LPG engines) which is mounted remotely
Complete with the following items:
- Drive gear suitable for post 1976 and pre serpentine engines.
- Distributor Cap and Rotor Arm.
- Vacuum advance unit.
Dual timing A & R Power Amp.
What you get?
1 Dual timing or Single timing power amplifier, suitable for the Rover V8 engine.
Will this fit my engine?
This
amplifier will fit all the standard Rover V8 distributors, both single
point and electronic, (excluding the early Lucas Opus system) and will
also work in conjunction with the Mallory Unalite and Dual Point
Distributor. If you have the early Lucas Opus distributor we seriously
suggest that you upgrade from this system as it will be losing you 2 -
3 miles per gallon on fuel economy and much more in performance terms
as well.
What is the Advance by Retard system?
LPG is
much more economical and just as powerful as petrol, but the issue is
with the ignition timing and spark intensity due to the slower flame
front of LPG.
When the selected fuel is gas, it is usually
beneficial to employ rather more ignition advance than would be used
with petrol to achieve best efficiency.
The
unit addresses this requirement by allowing the timing to be set up
optimally for gas and then automatically retarding the ignition (by an
adjustable amount of degrees) when petrol is selected. The automatic
retard is activated only when engine revs are greater than 1500, since
the unit’s accurate operation relies heavily on engine flywheel effect.
A diagnostic indicator LED lights up when the automatic retard is
active. As revs fall below 1500, the retard does not cut out until
below approximately 1200 rpm. This overlap ensures that the unit cannot
“hunt” near the switching threshold.
Thus
it is possible to have optimum setup for gas while avoiding problems
associated with over-advanced timing when switching back to petrol.
The
unit contains its own integrated power output stage employing a
low-saturation IGBT power transistor for low loss, minimal
self-heating, and maximum reliability. The internal circuits are
protected against accidental battery reversal. The input circuits allow
configuration to suit most types of points and sensor types of
distributors. Finally, internal links allow the automatic retard
sensitivity to be set to suit 4, 6, or 8-cylinder engines (wiring
diagram supplied for the Rover V8 engine).
Bigger Sparks, Maximum Power & Efficiency Potential, especially when upgrading other areas.
Our
exclusive A&R Power Amp increases spark output from 35KV +/- (new
stock) to nearly 50KV.
Small on the outside - Big Power on the inside.
Installation in less than 30 minutes without any experience.
The
A&R unit is completely hand built exclusively for us & uses
Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) output switch technology.
If you are not running LPG we can provide a power amp which is designed for just petrol use. Magnecor Plug Wires 8.0mm Blue
Superior 8.0mm Wires
This is for a full set off 8.0mm Blue Magnecor Plug Leads, for 'all' Rover V8 Engines and engine variants fitted in very many different vehicles but will always be delivered correct for your Rover V8 whatever your application.
Magnecor design Origins.
In the beginning. Designed primarily for pure racing engines using racing ignitions, turbo charging and supercharging. The Entire jacket was made from aerospace extreme heat-resistant silicone rubber. Exclusive magnecor 2.5 mm Metallic Inductance Suppressed Conductor will suppress EMI indefinitely, allowing this cable to be used on all road vehicles with any ignition styles and especially essential for LPG gas converted vehicles.
Please do not confuse Magnecor with cheaper high-street or original equipment leads. Spiral wound leads hand built by Magnecor actually boost spark output and plug gaps can safely be increased by 10-20% due substantial higher spark delivery voltage.
NGK BP6ES Spark Plugs
Why these Plugs ?
The NGK spark plugs which we are auctioning here are the BP6ES (19.0mm thread reach) which we fit into most of our Rover V8 vehicle applications.

We only sell parts that are truly required for the V8 engine, thus the prices are a reflection of the quality and appropriateness of them. We could sell low cost V8 parts of inferior quality, but we chose not to right from the beginning.
