I gathered lots of DK4A distributer bits from ebay etc and built up one fairly sound unit. However the advance mechanism was never satisfactory with wear in all the components. I had new weights, toggles & springs and it works reasonably well. Without a distributor test bench it's impossible to tell how ell the advance works. I suspect not very well.
The Accuspark I find is definitely better, down mainly to the new meachanical parts I think.
It has one other advantage which is that it only switches the current on when triggered. If you watch the ammeter and switch on, it initially shows a discharge for a second or two then switches off. Inadvertently leaving the ignition on therefore does no harm.
