It is a brand new casting complete and pre-fitted with Powerspark 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. 
(Also note that particularly if the engine has been fitted to another non standard chassis, it may require the longer connecting low tension cable from distributor to the coil
being our item L10-Long )

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

We offer two different distributors for the Rover V8 engine depending on if it is Early or Late:
Early model up to 1976 D29-Powerspark
Later model 1976 onwards is the D2-Powerspark

Rover V8 Distributors for Early Rover V8 Late 1976:
D2 - Powerspark Lucas 35D V8 distributor electronic with Powerspark Ignition Module
This unit is wired for NEGATIVE EARTH vehicles
Note the Wire on the L10-Long can be Black or White

We recommend the use of a DLB198 Coil which is rated at 1.00 Ohms or lower for this Distributor. Higher Ohm rated Ignition Coils can damage the Module over time.
We further recommend that the additional Lucar terminal on the side of this distributor be attached to a securely grounded (earth) wire on the vehicle.
