123 ignition for 1966 HY. H72 engine

[H Pickup Lover]

Hello All,

We are looking for the correct 123 ignition for a 1966 HY van with the H72 engine.

There is a 123/DS-R which fits the HY van with the H78 engine. Does it also work on the H72 engine?

Hopefully one of you have installed a 123 on a H72 engine.

We appreciate your advice!

Kind Regards,

Our HY van has an SEV distributor. Will the 123/DS-R work. Or will it only work with HY’s that originally have a Ducellier distributor?

The hole in the engine is the same.
You replace the whole ignition with 123, so which brand it was before is not important.

Pay attention to the drive axle, the notch and rib are not in the middle, it is not symmetrical!
It is possible to place the axle 180 degrees wrong in the engine with some force. But then the ignition wil damage.
