MARELLI Single point conversion tech sheet

Post by misterfiat »

Hello everyone, I need help with a file I'm trying to source.

Years ago IAP (International Auto Parts) used to post many helpful PDF sheets and links on their site for various tech bulletins and help. I was hoping someone had downloaded this at some point and they may still have it on their computer. A while back, I had posted before requesting the PDF file for their headlight upgrade instruction sheet (ironically not included with their product!) and someone was good enough to email it to me quickly to which I am gratefull! So I thought someone out there may have this one..... here we go;

I am trying to find the tech bulletin on the FIAT Marelli dual point distributor to single point distributor conversion. IAP had one which laid out step by step how to do it, from pulling the relay to pictures and setting up the new single points. I understand its not difficult to do but there are some things to be aware of first before ripping parts off! I'm not necessarily trying to go to the electronic upgrade, just trying to solve a starting problem (obviously an indicator of the failing part of the starting circuit point set). If anyone has the PDF file I would really appreciate you sending it to me, I can be reached directly by email should there be an issues with uploading it here. You can reach me at or send it to:

Thx in advance!

I have ran across various IAP videos on UTube. You might try a search there.
Good luck!

If you are familiar with how to tune the dual point by using the jumper wire in the relay socket, you can easily perform the conversion Remove the relay, Jumper the contacts for one set of points (pin 30 to either pin 87 or 87 a) , tune to that set of points and off you go.
