Installing the Ignition Kit

I purchased and just tried to kit the K1 kit in my 76 TR6. Unfortunately the base plate is way off for my distributor.. Did I miss something when i ordered it?
My first guess without looking is that you have a Delco distributor and need our K26…. Can you contact Sales@ and send an image of the distributor/points so we can help you out please?
Simon
Hi I have just fitted your “Powerspark” electronic ignition to my Triumph GT6 it has a Lucas D22 distributor. I am having a slight miss fire at the higher end of the Rev range (3500 4000rpm) how can I rectify this problem.
Thank you for your message, the issue could be a number of things however timing is the most likely. Please dynamically time the vehicle again after the install of the Powerspark for best results.
Simon
Can you explain further. I used a “Snapon” timing light (MT1261A) to set the timing @12 degrees BTDC This intermittent misfire was not present with points etc
Have you tried at that kind of revs/speed just pulling the choke out slightly?
Have just fitted kit to this distributor.
it was supplied with black & blue trigger ring, which one is correct?
both seen to work.
Please use trigger ring that fits nicely to the shaft.
Simon
Our system does not require any gaps to be set so please fit Powerspark with confidence.
Simon
I only ask as I have another ignition set up in one of my other cars and that is set with a gap e.g. like points ….
Certainly not touching no but when you say “set them” you should be simply installing only and there will be no movement if installed in the correct distributor.
Simon
So I set them as closed e.g. touching
What gap is this set at as I’m having problems
Thank you for your email.
Regarding the proximity of the kit to the trigger ring this is set automatically when the kit is installed by design.
If you have an issue please come through to us on our technical helpline 01527 889 453
