i just bought a electronic dissy for a 5k,

 

theres no side to side play on the bottom of the dissy where its driven off the cam

 

but on the top of the dissy were the rotor bottom lives theres about 2mm of play?

 

do i have a problem here?

doesnt sound good, electric as in proximity sensing type? ie hall effect etc...

not to sure on what sensor is uses, can the internals of the elctronic dissy be swapped over to a points dissy?

Hmm sounds like there's shaft bushing at the top that is thrashed out. You can probably get it rebuilt fairly cheaply at an Auto Elec.

 

It's a Hall effect type, you might be able to swap it over depending on which distributor you have, there's a bosch and a nippondenso one. I know that the mech one I've got won't work with my elec gear. My mech dizzy if off a 3K.

not to sure on what sensor is uses, can the internals of the elctronic dissy be swapped over to a points dissy?

 

Now what really is the point of that! :)

You upgrade to an elec dizzy to get rid of the points.

 

Oh and they're not a hall effects, they're a reluctor pick up.

taz rx i mean i think i can swap all the electrical gear over to a doner points dissy, the lenght is the same the housing is the same.

 

would anyone laugh if i told you i paid $100 for it?

Nah, that's the going rate...... for a good one though.

yeh that's it, 100 bucks is a standard price.

ill keep a update how i go with the electric gear into a points dissy conversion
