hey guys

 

as the title of the topic states

 

were can i get my distributor centre welded up for a 22re turbo motor?

Your wanting to lock the dizzy? If so just tie the mechanical advance setup together with some mig wire or similar.

All I used for my supercharged 5k.

Where do you live I could weld it if your local to me

But other then that just go into most mechanics they would have a welder and tell them what you want and they should be able to sort it out

Is the mechanism alloy or steel?? I'm looking into locking my dizzy as well, I'll weld it myself but if it's alloy I won't touch it.

Wont touch it cause you need a AC tig which is the price of a small African country! but have heard you can tig Aluminum on dc with heluim.

The shaft and weights are steel or stainless from what I have seen not alloy

Yours might be different

Take it to a local ignition place, or you can post it to Performance Ignition in Melbourne.

Just glue the sucker! A slop of araldite on the sliding pins would fix them in place.

 

If you're keen, replace the springs with heavier ones so it advances slower and at higher revs. Set it for mid-range and let it go up 10deg at the top end, at least you give it some extra time to burn.

Don't weld it, heat will warp the shaft. Use tie wire as stu said

I have to make sure that whatever gets stuck stays stuck. I'm converting mine to an EFI dizzy, so it needs to have 0 advance and the reluctor pickup has to sit a minimum of 60 degrees in advance

to the actual ignition moment. I think I might go down the araldite path, used it plenty of times.

Mine stayed stuck for 2 1/2 years. I checked it when I took it all out and was still perfect. You should be right with a good metal adhesive though.

There's that stuff they sell at bursons it's glue amd powder amd you mix it and welds like steel looks strong maybe have a look?

cheers for all your help guys
