what inflyt said. also check by removing a lead, hold it close to something metal, such as a screwdriver and get someone to turn the car over. it should spark. if it doesnt its more than likely a CAS. Be careful holding the lead while someone is cranking it as it can/may give you a big electrical shock

thanks for that patch did it today took me 15 minutes all up

No worries malpasso. It's quick and easy to do it once you've done it a couple of times

yeah first time ive done it man cars running a bit rough though might change the dizzy cap and leads and see ohow it goes

Where is the best place to get a CAS kit from? ie: cas, bearing, seal etc

sweet ill do it 2nite.. cheers dude Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

hey guys i recently replaced my CAS but i used the small chrome disc from the other car that i got the CAS out of should i have used my disc not the one from the other car??? i went to get it tuned today and he said the spark is really erratic im thinking this could be the cause and if it is what do i do now?

autobarn want like 115 for just the CAS itself... rare spares/auto 1 in roxburgh park have nothing in stock.. my sister is picking a whole kit up for me from bursons heidelberg for around $145 just a guide for anyone in the nth subs Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

ah right well we figured it was that because it only started happening after the old cas died and i replaced it with a second hand one. ill be putting a brand new one in on monday and seeing how it goes.

THREAD BUMP! used this today and it worked a treat thanks alot!! although I did it the hard way and had to re-time it myself, but I managed it!! coming from someone whos never had the guts or tools (til now) to go near the engine bay lol! cheers

Where did the pictures go? Or is my browser playing up?

I just rebuilt mine. I used a fuel miser CAS, changed the plug and contacts. Really when doing this you need to cahnge the oil seal that sits under the bearing, the bearing itself and install a rubber O ring between the distribuitor housing and cap so you dont have the wet dizzy problem again. Ill do this for $200 exchange, PM if intrested.

Anyone had any problems with that silver disk? I pulled mine out today and it's all chewed out and warped, I think that why car is running like a bag if s^*+
