Title: Lumenition and camshaft needed
Post by: Jose M Oliva on June 16, 2008, 08:51:23
Hello everybody.

As I am new to the forum, please let me introduce myself and my team first. We are four guys from Madrid (Spain) involved in classic rallying and racing during our spare time and with a long term project: travelling and competing in your 24hr race someday. We have a currently half-prepared car which nowadays is as reflected in the attached photos.

Recently we have removed and dismantled the standard engine (used up to now) and want to prepare it accordingly with the Tech Regulations during this summer holidays. For this purpose we need first to get the two specific Club items: Lumenition and camshaft.

I would appreciate very much if somebody could advise me where to buy these two specific parts.

Many thanks in advance and best regards,

José

You don't have to have the lumenition, jose.You can use points.
If you still want it you can buy it from the racing club .
the camshaft is available from
Kent Performance Cams Ltd
Units 1-7 Military Road
Shorncliffe Industrial Estate
Folkestone
Kent
CT20 3SP
you send a slightly worn camshaft to them they send it back to you reground.
Hope this helps
Paul

Hello again and thanks for your answers.

The main reason to be tempted by Lumenition is because my original system does not seem to follow the theoretical advance curve as RPM increase (due to weights, I suppose) so you can only adjust it properly on one single point of the entire curve. I guess Lumenition avoids this by having the ignition diagram electronically programmed.

I have already emailed Kent Cams to ask for price, delivery time and so on, and I have my original camshaft ready for delivery. Who should I contact to buy Lumenition from the Club?

Thanks a lot,

José

Trevor and all the rest,

I have tried to contact Wayne Cowling by e-mail with no success. I do not know if his e-mail is active.

Meanwhile I have asked ECAS too, but I would like to know if there is any price difference with the Club.

Many thanks,

José

Hello again,

I have received my camshaft regrinded from Kent Cams (no. 187) and have finished installation by matching both crankcase halves again.

Now I do need to get in contact with Wayne Cowling to ask for a Club Lumenition but the email passed by Trevor Williams does not seem to work. I suppose now he has won the 24hr event it is going to be even more difficult...

Can anyone pass me any other email of Wayne or suggest any other way to buy one Lumenition from the Club?

Thanks in advance,

José

After two months trying, I must admit it is impossible to buy Lumenition both from the Club and from ECAS.

Does anybody know any other source to get the Lumenition approved system?

Apparently, there are two different models for the 2CV, called ZD and MM. Does anybody know which is the correct one?

Many thanks,

José
