    Ok, im having a bit of trouble figuring out how to get a reliable spark on my Weber'd 4AGE. I can't use a standard 4AGE dizzy as it has no advance mechanism and i would have to buy a few different MSD products to create my own timing curve. I also do not want to run static timing even though i have read that it works ok. Another option is to get a 4K distributor and adapt it to fit, even though it's points, coil i think.

    However i was thinking that maybe a 4AFC distributor might work, i know i may have to make an adaptor and change the gear. I presume that it has an advance mechanism and maybe vac. advance as it is a carby motor? or is this not the case?

    Has anyone done any research on this or has got a Carby 4AGE and can help me out?

    Thanks Daniel

    That sounds alright. So i presume it allows you to create you own timing curve or program at what rpm you want it to start and stop advancing the timing?

    If you want to run a Toyota style mechanical advance electronic dizzy, you have to swap some parts around. Try collecting these things if you can:

    4K-E dizzy
    2T-GEU dizzy
    FWD Holden Gemini dizzy (also Nippon Denso, same parts)
    Holden Shuttle igniter and coil (also Denso, plugs right into 2T-GEU dizzy)

    Take a good look at your parts. You may have to swap a pinion onto another shaft.
