Hi,

While attempting to fix a faulty connection on my distributor today (early
Rover P5B fitted with a Lumenition module) I fear I may have inadvertently
damaged the control unit.

The Lumenition control unit is a small cast aluminium box with three or four
wire running from it. Some of these wires shorted out against the live feed
to the alternator, causing a few sparks. Anyway the net result is no
ignition.

Having said all that, my question concerns a Lucas SD1 distributor that I
have - 35DE8. This has two wires coming from it, one red/black and one
white/black. Does anyone know how these should be connected up? Did this
distributor require an external module (which I don't have)? The internals
of the distributor contain a hall type sensor, transistor etc., so it looks
fairly self-contained to me.

Any ideas, let me know.

Thanks,
