[QUOTE="brianinpa, post: 165007, member: 2394"] Working on swapping the ignition over today and found a problem. Most have seen the 1100 Ignition Housing... [GALLERY=media, 28296][/GALLERY] Well, my version of the C5 requires a spacer ring to be installed... [GALLERY=media, 28297][/GALLERY] And then the Ignition module... [GALLERY=media, 28298][/GALLERY] The problem is the inside of the 1200 Ignition housing is a bit different... [GALLERY=media, 28299][/GALLERY] There is no way for the spacer ring fit inside the ignition housing... [GALLERY=media, 28300][/GALLERY] So the C5 Ignition Module will not fit correctly. [GALLERY=media, 28301][/GALLERY] As far as I know, Paul never made a spacer specifically for the backside of the 1200, so the best solution (as I see it) is putting the 1100 ignition housing on the back of the 1200 motor. It does fit and the bolt holes match, but here is the problem. How do I get the vacuum chamber off of the ignition housing? I want to get rid of that bee-hive, but I am not sure if it is as simple as removing the "pin" on the side of the ignition housing and then pulling the vacuum chamber off. [/QUOTE]
