Is there a difference between smallport and bigport distributor caps? Bosch catalogue doesn't list the AE92/3 SX so there's no smallport listing, however they do give a different cap part number for the AE86 (I'm assuming bigport)
OK so when I bought my dizzy, it didn't come with a cap. Thats OK
Good practice to get a new one, so, off to Bursons.
Bosch GD687 - no problems, come home, put it on - one of the screws that holds the cap down is in the wrong place - its out by about 3mm
Anyone else come across this wierd phenomena? I tried an old AW11 MR2 dizzy i had, it has the exact same problem...

theres also no AW11 reference.
Echlin to a dizzy cap - its an E759. Should be here tomorrow
Also CHAMPION also do a cap i don't know the part number though
The Bosch catalogue I've got (d/led from their website) lists the AW11 (twice actually), and both have the same GD687 cap as the AE82 Twincam.Originally Posted by Grega

hmmm
its wrong
i've emailed bosch and sent them photos
i'll put the photos up here too
OK here we go :
the dizzy i've got is an ae82 / 86kw one.
the 100kw cap does not fit.
there is however a cap which looks like the 100kw one which is the echlin type.
my query has been recevied by bosch and i've sent them the picture as well.
yeah i'm pretty sure all the ones i have seen , have the h/t lead things coming off the cap at 90 degrees ???Originally Posted by cuzzo
oh ok....so the dizzy cap should look like the ae92 4AGE small port?
hey heres interesting. the echlin part E759 does look like the ae92 small port one...
here we go
echlin dizzy cap
The Echlin looks a lot better than the Bosch, was wondering why the HT leads were coming out axially on the Bosch....most likely wrong part, have you double checked to see if there is a part number embossed on the cap anywhere? Could be wrong part in right box.

Hiro, yeah there wasn't a number stamped into the dizzy cap.
We did cross check it in the book ; and ; it was the correct cap in the box.
I got my Echlin EP759 cap today - fits perfectly no issues at all. It is completely different with the leads coming out at right angles to the cap.
I've emailed Bosch to follow up the problem to which I've supplied them with pictures and part numbers from both an AW11 dizzy and my AE82 dizzy as reference (as well as the Echlin reference as much as they didn't want to hear that - i want to get my car running)
So lets see what transpires.
