Do you want to know what the point gap is on your Citroen 2 CV ?
Here recently, someone wrote in and asked me what the point gap was on their 1975 Citroen 2 CV . The best way I figured to answer this would be to list the Ignition System Specs for the 2 CV-6 engines from 1970 thru 1990 . These have the engine code: AO6/634/5
- Ignition Coil Make: Ducellier
- IgnitionCoil Type: 4009
- Ignition Coil Supply Voltage: + with Balast resistor: 11,0
- Primary Resistance: Ohm: 3,4-3,8
- Firing Order: 1-2
- Distributor (ECM) Make: Ducellier
- Distributor (ECM) No: 605774
- Contact Breaker gap/trigger air gap mm: 0.4
- Dwell Angle: (%): 106-112 (60)
Hope that answers the question. I do have to say that because it is fairly hard to get at the points, ie: removing the fan blade, you might want to seriously consider going to a 123 Ignition System . It is a fantastic distributor for classic Citroëns . It will give you a much more accurate and powerful spark and you won’t have to mess with it ever again.
The 123 Systems are distributed here in the states by Erik deWidt and you can contact Erik at erikdewidt@aol.com in the eastern part of the country and in the west at French Parts Service at: http://www.2cvsource.com
Take care of those little engines in your Citroen 2CV and they will take care of you.
