Dear Dino friend,An ignition system failure probably is the most frequent reason for a brakedown of our Dinos. Broken capacitors, springs of the brake points, broken Dinoplex or coil, all of them usually lead to a sudden end of your ride out. After Murphys Law this usually happens far from home and from a capable workshop. We all are familiar with what you are going through in such a case:
Thus and with the same tension Dino owners are discussing which ignition system is the one and only for the Dinos. |

![]() | Others often brake after a few hundred kilometers/miles leading to the scenario we describe at the beginning. Reproductions often can be detected as they have burrs on the springs and are not riveted with good care. Also the isolators come in plastic instead of pertinax. |

There are two good options:
![]() | 1. The big car industry suppliers make good capacitors but the mounting bracket differs a little. |
![]() | 2. And NOS OEM parts, best to identify when still in their original packaging. |

This system has a inductive sensor build into a remanufactured distributor housing or your original one. The mechanic advance system is locked and replaced by the software on the programmable CDI unit. The CDI unit can be built into a remanufactured dinoplex housing. Unfortunately it won’t fit into the original housing. Proven System with eye sensor instead of the original contact points first developed by dinoplex.org Pros: - reliable - no wear of contact points - relatively inexpensive Cons: - advance curve still mechanicaly (not maintenance free) Included: - Original distributor housing Magneti Marelli S125 - Refurbishment of advance mechanism incl. parts - Eye sensor - Original Dinoplex housing AEC103 - Ignitiion module - Assembly and wiring - Plug car side - Coil
For sure most Dino owners won’t accept such desecrations but especially those with performance Dino engines can get better performance and drivability with such a trigger wheel ignition and injection. If you enjoy some crafty engineering work yourself we can supply you with the right components.
Complete distributor incl. inductive sensor - original look: the electronic components are installed in original distributor or DinoPlex housings. - All electronic components used here are industrially manufactured and have proven themselves thousands of times over. - The ignition performance is very good over the entire speed range thanks to the CDI. |
