Paul Turner Posted January 7, 2002 Share Posted January 7, 2002 This may be of help, I have just completed a Zetec conversion and when deciding whose ignition kit to buy I spoke to Dunnell, Raceline and Weber, I fitted the Weber alpha system. I already had a throttle pot from my previous x-flow system (Weber again) and was assured by Dunnell that it would work with their current system. It is a Weber supply part and the kit including bracket is about £40, it uses 3 wires as your existing system. I understand there are 2 types of pot, linear and logarithmic, I dont know what the Weber is and dont know what type the early Dunnell used but a call to Webcon 01932 787100 may help.

The Pied Piper Posted January 7, 2002 Share Posted January 7, 2002 I used the Webcom potentiometer on Kennys HPC with the DTA Ecu. It worked fine and came with a mounting bracket and operating arm that fitted perfectly on the Webbers. As far as I know most applications will use a linear Pot, if you used a logarithmic pot the rate of change at the top end would make for very interesting mapping! The Pied Piper Rear wheel drive is best! (but sometimes 4WD is better) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
