ASCONA-HOLIC Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Hello to everyone! I am Thanasis from Greece and I own 4 ascona's, all of them 'b' model of course! I am going to present them in a separate topic. I get into the subject: One of my ascona's is 1.2 and it faces some problems with the distributor. The gear of the distributor axle is really worn, thus the connection to its driving gear is very loose. In that way spark timing can not be adjusted at all. As a result, the engine may not even start, combined with the high humidity in my area. The only way is to change a distributor. And I was thinking if it is possible to install a set of distributor-coil with an electronic fuel ignition, in order to get rid of the contact breakers! I suppose there are two ways: 1. Install a complete set of distributor-coil-electronic ignition (from another model?) 2. Convert the standard set of distributor-coil to electronic ignition. Does anyone have any experience with any of these solutions for the ascona b 1.2 engine? Can anyone suggest me any solution that works? Thanks in advance!

mantadoc Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Is it a Bosch distributor (brown cap) or a Delco Remy (black screw on cap)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monzta Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Any Kadett C 1,2 ignition will do. The 1,2 Asconas and Mantas can be hard to find, but as said the Kadett use the same engine so salvage one from the 1200 Kadett C Ebay.de Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASCONA-HOLIC Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 It is a Bosch distributor. And there is kadett c with electronic ignition? And what about this? Has anyone used that? Does it work? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Opel-Ascona-Electronic-ignition-conversion-for-Bosch-/310236008389?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item483b81cfc5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASCONA-HOLIC Posted April 6, 2016 Author Share Posted April 6, 2016 Hello after a long time, I am currently into this conversion but I have some troubles with the wiring connections. I have the whole set of distributor-coil-electronic ignition from a Corsa A E12GV, which also has an additional electronic board ("Weber", obviously it is for the carburetor) and another plug with 3-pins that I do not know what it is for (1st picture in the link below). https://www.google.gr/search?q=corsa+a+e12gv&rlz=1C1SAVI_enGR522GR523&espv=2&biw=1600&bih=760&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiz-6KxzPnLAhUCiywKHTMHD-cQ_AUIBigB#imgrc=_ Therefore I do not know exactly what to connect where. Can anyone help? Many thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
