Distributor Identification
Identifying your distributor is fairly straightforward, as there is a code - such as DLM8 - stamped on the unit itself. However, you may need to remove the distributor from the engine in order to see the number.

Distributor - Range Rover
Early vehicles (1970 to June 1981) have Lucas points type distributors. Electronic ignition was introduced in July 1981. From this time, as A-suffix after the engine number denotes points ignition, and a B-suffix, electronic ignition (carb engines only - all Efi are electronic ignition).
From 1986, all distributors are electronic - either the Lucas 35DM8, having a separate ignition amplifier mounted underneath the coil, or on later vehicles, the Lucas 35DLM8, which has an amplifier module mounted on the side of the distributor itself.
From 1992 (3.9 & 4.2 litre), distributors have either a 2-pin or a 3-pin amplifier module in the body of the distributor. The later 3-pin can be used to replace the 2-pin when fitted in conjunction with the appropriate link lead, part number STC1212. The latest 3.9 & 4.2 engines have a remote amplifier again, mounted away from the distributor. Points type distributors can be converted to electronic ignition with Lumenition kit RB7323.
