need help - engine wiring Jaguar V12

[voyageur]

Hi guys,

I need your help for my Jaguar XJS project. The Hasegawa engine has such a nice distributor and I want to wire it (after drilling 13 holes in that tiny piece).

Does anybody know where the spark plug cables go? I searched everywhere, but to no avail. All the pictures I came up with have such a clutter of cables in the engine compartment that the distributor is hidden and out of sight

Thank you in advance!

Cheers
Sebastian

Sebastian, I found this and this but I also found this where you can see the distributor sitting in there.

Maybe something here or here ?

I really don't know much about the Jaggy TWE HE, but I am wondering if in fact it didn't use the distributorless version of the engine (even though Hassa put one in there).

A quick google search showed that later versions of the HE engine were in fact distributorless and at the same time none of the TWR photos I could find showed that pretty big dissie that's in the kit... what do you think?

Well, thanks for the quick info....I found most of those photos, too.
Just wanted to make sure - and the first pic you posted shows what I wanted to know: the location of the spark plugs.

I don't know about the distributorless version. I'll worry about that once I'm building the racecar.

Thanks again. I appreciate it.



Thank you very much!!!

No problem - I'm glad if it helped.

(also, I have the XJ-S Cabrio in my stash, so I was actually quite interested in the answer myself )
