 Product overview

 | 123ignition did it again ! If you want to tune your engine, or you have an engine for which there is no standard distributor available.....the new 123\TUNE is the answer ! By connecting it to a computer, the end-user can easily adapt the 123\TUNE to fulfill even the most demanding requirements. The unit offers two sets of curves that can be selected by placing 12 Volt on a wire from the 123\TUNE.

The 123\LANCIA-4-R-V is designed with the help of Lancia enthusiasts. As these cars are becoming quite rare, we have chosen to introduce a product that offers all the necessary advance-curves, but that may need some fiddling before it can be mounted.
For the Fulvia this means, that the gearwheel from the original distributor needs to be replaced. ( which is an easy job as everything is prepared by us )
For the Flavia, things are slightly more complicated, but we think almost every handy classic car enthusiast will be able to replace the original drive-dog and find a proper spacer between the mounting-bracket and the flange on the 123ignition.
We have integrated all the required 7 advance-curves for Fulvia 1,2 and 3 and Flavia 1,2 and 3.
And the experience ? Well, the engines run beautifully, without exception !

123\DS-A for Citroen ID, DS
123\DS-A is a distributor, specifically targeted for the Citroen ID/DS. It contains all the curves for carbureted ID/DS-engines as originally specified by Citroen, for cars after July 1959.
With a switch you can easily choose the advance-curve that was specified for your engine.
It comes with an angled distributor-cap, for easy access to the sparkplug-leads.
Might you prefer un upright cap, please specify a '123\DS-R'
For ID's until 2/1964 Citroen used a distributor with vacuum-advance. To replace this you should order a '123\DS-R-V'.
ID-19B's from 9-'66 until 9-'68 with 'DV'-engine , and DS19A / DS19MA & ID19FA with 'DY'-engine from '65 to '68 require a different fixation. For these cars we offer a '123\DV-R' with a special mounting bracket.
|  |

123\DS-R for Citroen DS, Traction Avant and H-van
 | the 123\DS-R is essentially the same unit as the 123\DS-A : it contains the same set of 16 advance-curves.
Two curves are dedicated to the Traction-Avant engines, the 'Perfo' and the '11D'.
For the 'H'-van there are two advance-curves too, both for the 'H78'-engine. One of these has a so-called 'rev-limiter', to prevent unwanted engine-damage.
Might you require vacuum-advance : specify a '123\DS-R-V'.
|

123\DS-IE-R for DS 21 IE and 23 IE (injection electronique)
the 123\DS-IE-R is designed to replace the original Bosch ZV11/7 A 3 A distributor, that was used by Citroen in conjunction with the Bosch injection-system.
The 123\DS-IE-R comes in a Bosch-like housing, with a Bosch cap and rotor. Two extra outputs will provide the right signals to the injection-computer.
The unit is factory-set to provide the right advance-curve, for the DS21-ie and the DS23-ie.
Proper advance-curve AND proper working of the injector-outputs, often brings dramatic improvements for fuel-injected DS'es !
|  |

123\DV-R for Citroen ID/DS with DV engine
 | the 123\DV-R is essentially the same unit as the 123\DS-A or the 123\DS-R : it contains the same set of 16 advance-curves. The difference is its shape to fit certain "DV" engines, as Citroen produced in 1966 and 1967.
This can easily be seen, by the two M7 - bolts sticking out of the engine, for mounting the distributor. This explains the
different shape of this 123-ignition.
Might you require vacuum-advance : specify a '123\DV-R-V'.
|

123\SIX-R-V for Citroen Traction Avant 15-six (6 cyl 15D engine)
the 123\SIX-R-V is specifically designed with the Traction Avant with 6-cylinder 15D engine in mind.
The ignition works on 6 Volt and on 12 Volt, negative earth, and improves the inherently smooth running of a 6-cyl.-engine even further.
Fantastic torque-improvement is reported, and the 'original-look' of the 123ignition attracts 'SIX'-owners in particular.
|  |

123\2CV for 2CV4, 2CV6, DYANE, AMI, Mehari
 | The '123\2CV' is designed for all 2CV's ( and derivatives ) with a A79/1, M28 or M28/1 engine.
It is a microprocessor controlled device, that replaces all the mechanical parts of the conventional system, like points, cam, and centrifugal weights.
The 123\2CV is designed for the stock ( black! ) coil, and is intended for 12 Volt systems only.
The ease of installation, and the outstanding quality has attracted thousands of happy 2CV-drivers, all over the world.
The main benefits are :
- better starting
- better fuel consumption
- smoother running, better emissions
- more torque ( especially in the lower rev's )
- no maintenance, EVER again
|

123\UNI for all 6 & 12Volt 2CV, DYANE, AMI, Mehari
The '123\UNI' is designed for all STANDARD '2CV' engines that were ever produced. The appropriate advance-curve can be selected with a 16 position rotary-switch, behind an opening in the front of the housing. The unit will work on 6 Volt and on 12 Volt systems.
The '123\UNI' is designed to work on '2CV' 9 hp, 375cc, A53, M4, A79/0, M28, A79/1 and M28/1 engines in conjunction with the stock black coil. (6 Volt type for 6 Volt battery, and 12 Volt type for 12 Volt battery) The dwell is automatically adjusted.
Upon installation, the user has to check his engine plate ( "A", "AZ", "AM", "AYA", "AM2", "AYA2", "AK2", "A06/635", "A06/642", "AM2A" or "A06/664" ) and look in the manual which setting of the rotary-switch is appropriate.
