#1 Ignition box required (even non-working)

Post by Ryland James » Wed Apr 22, 2020 10:25 am

Asking for a friend who has a business building high class rally cars, but is currently restoring a V12 e-type for a customer for show purposes. He rang me as I have a 1973 S3 FHC.

They are looking for an used ignition box (I think it may be called ignition amplifier). It's the rectangular component approximately 70mm x 50mm x 40mm with distinct cooling fins on it, and a series of wires coming out. He thinks the part nr may be Lucas 47012H - Ab3 ignition pack.

As it is for a show car, it does not need to be in working order - so I am sure someone here will have an old one under the bench. Even though he says a non-working one would suffice, they are still happy to pay a reasonable price for it.

Unfortunately, my lack of mechanical expertise mirrors my lack of computer skills. I do have a photo, but cannot find a way of posting it here. If you think you may have one, please drop me an email to rylandjms@aol.com and I will email the pic to you.

Thanks and stay safe all.

Hi you may struggle as they are usually required back for exchange as new innards are fitted for distributor upgrades good luck
