When you fit the F7P engine into the 340 volvo and run it on carbs how do you wire the the ignition?? ive not seen what type of dizzy the F7P has so im just enquiring so i can make a list of bits i need to do the swap. Is the distributor a points type? an electronic type? or do you need some form of ignition management??

any help would be appreciated

cheers

Keep the 340 renix (ignition modual) and crank sensor and use the 16 dizzy and leads.
