Frequently asked questions

What does this points distributor do?
This contact-breaker (points) distributor distributes the high-tension spark to the cylinders in firing order. It carries the contact breaker points and condenser that set the ignition timing for the four-cylinder petrol engine. It's built for negative-earth electrical systems.
Is this a points distributor or an electronic one?
This is a contact-breaker (points) distributor, using mechanical points and a condenser to trigger the spark. It's the traditional setup that needs periodic points adjustment. An electronic ignition version is offered separately if you'd rather avoid maintaining points.
Does this distributor suit positive or negative earth?
This distributor is built for negative-earth applications. Many early Series Land Rovers were originally positive earth, so check how your vehicle is wired before fitting. Using the wrong polarity setup can affect ignition operation, so confirm your earth arrangement first.
Which Land Rovers does this distributor fit?
This points distributor fits the Series II, IIA and III with the 2.25L four-cylinder petrol engine, and the Defender 1983-1994 with the 2.5L four-cylinder petrol engine. It suits negative-earth ignition on these units. Confirm your engine and polarity before ordering.
