Yep got the 6BTM on mine. Best mod I've done. It's been running trouble free for 10 years. But I did blow a coil a year ago. It runs better with no vacuum advance, locked machanical advance and set at 20 to 25 deg BTDC. And I also run a Magna dizzy without the module. You just solder into the mag pick up.

I once bought a Carby Magna dizzy to send to Scortcher to be regraphed and a boost retard canister fitted. When I got it back and went to install it..I found that the mounting for the module on the Magna dizzy was at a different angle to the Sigma GN dizzy, and it would not fit.
I forget what the actual issue was, but I think it was that the module was fouling the thermostat housing on the turbo inlet manifold. I had to take it to an auto electrician and have the innards switched over into my GN Astron II series dizzy.
If you run a magna dizzy with aftermarket ignition then the mounting for the module could be cut off I guess.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm still running a dizzy built by performance ignition but time to upgrade and have a bit more of a play with the setup.

If you upgrade, I'd certainly be interested in the old turbo dizzy

Does anyone know which model Magna dizzy I would need to use as mentioned above?

Also d3v147 could I grab some more info about your setup you may be selling?
