Thank you for that valuable strip-down information on that crudely-made Chinese distributor. I have electronic conversion units fitted to the original distributors of two of our family A7s and both work perfectly. I tried one on the third car and it just didn't like it, popping banging and misfiring; possibly something to do with an unsuitable coil, or leads, etc - so that's running fine on the original system. One thing that I'm unsure of, do these units have a built-in advance curve or fixed timing? There was no data in the paperwork supplied with the ones that I bought.
