Hey all I am still chasing down the problem listed below with my 84 V12 but I found this pic to show our million dollar ignition amp is noting but a $50.00 delco module.

Yep, thousands of post regarding that in all the Jaguar forums I have ever read, and also well discussed in Kirby's book.

I use Echlin (made in USA) well the last 2 were, and NEVER had an issue with them.

Also moving the amp out the front of the radiator (alongside the 2nd coil), saves their bacon in my opinion.

Then going to a "new technology" single coil takes a hell of a load off the amp also. All our amps run "cold" at all times now we have the single coil on them all.

 

What coil do you use with the single coil setup? Anything else you have to change or is it just plug and play.

Brian,

I use a Bosch MEC723 coil. Simple plug and play, and remove the wiring to the front coil, and the front coil itself, actually takes longer than fitting the new coil.

Jaguar did a Ducelliar coil for that application, but way down here they wanted more than the usual $$ for it, yeh right, so that Bosch came up, $60, and we have 8+ V12's with them running, mine since 1999.

 

I left the front coil and wiring in place, disconnected, as a conversation piece :-)

If you can't find the Bosch coil mentioned by Grant the Jag number is DAC6093. I think they run about $60 nowadays if you can live without a Jaguar label on the box.

Brian,just curious... your pic shows no "blob" with the resistors,do you have them in another location?

 

Not sure that was a picture I found its not from my car. I have been chasing a horriable problem with the idle on my car and have come to the point we are just throwing parts before I turn it into a Chevy car.

Where can i get Lucas AB14

 

Is yours missing entirely? There's nothing in one that can't be replaced with off-the-shelf parts. Used ones appear on eBay $50ish.

Id call David at everydayxj.com if I was looking for a replacement.

 

i sent email message....., thanks

 

Ok will check out thanks
