    My Dinoplex has stopped working and I need to replace it as the car is running onthe secondary coil. I can source the part no problem but I'm told it's a slightly different system, no longer a capacity discharge system. It comes with a wiring diagram and the correct stuff, but is it a DIY job?

    Any feedback would help before I send the car off to the dealers again!

    Is this the unit from Superformance?

    If so, I bought one about six months ago. My mechanic, with many years of experience popped it in with little difficulty and it works great.

    I did do some time as apprentice electrician (household stuff) in my youth and did not want to tackle it myself. I can read a electrical diagram, kind of like I can read Spanish, so I let him.

    It took a couple hours or so, I would estimate, for him to replace the ratty old electronic unit someone had installed in the late 70's.

    thanks, it is the unit from Superperformance so perhaps I won't tackle it myself!

    You could also buy and Allison, MSD, or etc and use your current box and connector by placing the contents inside. I had permatune gut my Marelli unit and put one of theirs in it - no one can tell it is aftermarket and it runs great!
