Dizzy cap? That will be £390+ VAT at Toyota!

[ryan]

Well it seems you cant buy a dizzy cap from Toyota anymore without buying the whole distributor! The parts guy who was quite unhelpful showed me on their EPC, and I looked it up on the EPC here, part no for dizzy cap is same as for the whole assembly! How can they do this?

[JeffD]

Thats not right but a cap is about £65 though.

Thats what I thought, but if you look at the EPC on here its same part number for distributor and the dizzy cap, same as the EPC the guy at Toyota parts had

Give TCB a call mate, you CAN just buy a dizzy cap

[BenF]

It may come as part of the whole distributor assembly, but you can buy it separately - I bought lots in the past when making Copper Contact Dizzy caps up for Group Buy's.

I don't have the part number to hand, but FWIW
19101-88364 used to be the part number for a UK 96-on NA, and I think that it also suitable for a Rev3-on Turbo. Get Mr T to cross check against your VIN.

19100-88460 DISTRIBUTOR ASSY 01.11.1993-01.12.1997 3SGE..SW20

Mite aswell revive this thread rather than starting a new one.

Does anyone no were i can buy a copper dizzy cap for the rev 3 tubby?

As i popped in my local toyota dealers (I refuse to use blueprint items) to buy a stock replacement and the prices have shot up, the cap alone is £85 +VAT im not paying that for a stock replacement, so may aswell fit a copper dizzy and rotor arm, Just cant seem to find one, any ideas anyone?



Cheers Gav

A "copper contact" cap is a modified original cap....
I always used original Toyota caps when making them, but BluePrint have modified their moulding now and are just as good.

I#ve made a few over the years as did Ben Formesyn, I don't know anyone else at present.

You can search the internet for the procedure (Mark Summers copper contact distributor cap)


I think I still have a Rev1 cap done, but no Rev2/3's

what's the process?

do you use ready made copper parts or have to shape them too?

any info would be great.

I got some prices from Toyota on Saturday and here they are...
Distributor cap 19101-88364 = £68.02 + vat
Rota arm 19115-88280 = £16.05 + vat

These are for a rev 3 turbo
