Product Description

This Powerspark 35D V8 Distributor is a direct replacement for the Lucas 35D or 35DLM8 V8 Distributor. We offer this for all types of Rover V8 engine, see below for details.

It is a brand new casting complete and pre-fitted with Powerspark Electronic Ignition for 'plug and play' fitment.
