Title: 159 Timing tools at Repco
Post by: colcol on July 09, 2014, 04:59:23 PM
Hello all 159 JTS 2.2 owners out there,
Looking at the latest flyer from Repco, they have timing tools for Alfa Romeo's, that is, the tools to hold the camshaft in position when changing that stretched chain, the part number is ET0207.
It also does Astra-G, H, Corsa-D, Cruze, Insignia, Vectra-C, Zafira-B, [03-11], and proper cars like Fiat Croma and Alfa Romeo 159, from the July Repco Trade Solutions Flyer, Colin.

Hi Colin do I have a recollection that you did a Nissan 8 point dist conversion for a twin spark in a 105, if so could I get some information off you Thanks Pete

Hello Peter, sorry wrong Colin, you need to talk to the other Colin [Byrne]who knows what he is talking about, he lurks around the 105 pages, Colin [Thomas].

I should have also put the price of the timing tools is $114 + GST as Repco flyers don't mention this except at the bottom, Colin.

Vin Sharp made a nice twinspark distributor for my car, it's a real dizzy, not just the "dumb" conversion.  Colin Byrne has also made one of these for me when I still was running fuel injection in the TS105.

Cheers
