Product Description
D29M11 - Rover V8 Distributor for Late Rover V8 Engines Pre 1976 replaces Lucas 35D V8
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 Lucas DAB118 Electronic Ignition for 'plug and play' fitment.
Comes complete with a Powermax rotor arm, improved over the original by using a moulded design instead of a rivet.
The Lucas 35D V8 was used for many years in vehicles that used the Rover V8 engine. Your Rover V8 engine is either classed as early or late, which dictates which drive gear the distributor utilises
