Subject: Re: Scintilla NV6 for LG6; will an AV6 fit, what are differences?
Hi Julian,
Thanks for looking this up. Turned out it's clockwise rotation, whereas the NV6 (on my LG6 at any rate) is anticlock. So perhaps an AV6 is a clockwise version of the NV6. Strangely, the contact breaker is mounted identically in both (whereas the those in the V12's Delco Remy distributors are different), so whether it would need much work to change rotation, I don't know. Guess the advance mechanism would be a serious problem!
Didn't realise the ignition should be 2 degrees different side to side...suppose this means more complete burn of the mixture. Certainly remember the second ignition was worth an extra 50rpm at idle.
