Frank E Bouy Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 Hi All, Just about to replace the Distributor cap on my Vitesse Mk2; the one on the club website (DDB113) states for TR6/2000/2500. Does anyone know whether this is suitable for the Vitesse 2ltr? Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 all depends on what make dizzy is fitted DBB113 would be for a lucas 45D6 or similar (no revcounter drive) if you cant see the make type numbers ( on the base body) can you post a picture ??? the 2ltr Vit is generally delco with a cable rev counter drive its a Delco D202 or of that family and cap is GDC115 ignore the website ring Bern or Marytn and tell them what you have ( when you know whats fitted as these things get swapped over the years) Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NonMember Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 Pete is mistaken. The Vitesse 1600 would be a Delco. The 2L should be a Lucas but it will be a 25D not a 45D, so DBB113 is still wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 GT6 mk1 2 3 and 2ltr vitesse Triumph WSM states Delco D202 and late GT6 D204 from engine KE 10,001 no reference to any lucas so wheres that data hiding..........?? Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johny Posted May 2, 2019 Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 My 2L MK1 Vitesse was definitely supplied with a 25D..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68vitesse Posted May 2, 2019 Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 Old John Hills parts book I have list the cap as GDC109 Delco GT6 and Vitesse 6 from HB15001 GDC115 Lucas Vitesse 1, 2 and Vitesse6 to HB15000 But who knows which distributer fitted down the years. Also this on Rimmers site https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-GRID007866 Regards Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a proper Triumph WSM for GT6 1&2 and Vitesse 2L (note: NOT the GT6 mk3). I've owned two Vitesses and both had 25Ds Edit: I've just checked the PDF of the WSM. The General Specification table on page 0-102 lists Lucas 22D6 for Vitesse and a mix of D200, D202, D204 for GT6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Lewis Posted May 2, 2019 Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 this is good old triumph data , the script and specs in the dizzy section shows differently so that confirms 25D6 so GDC115 is the cap to order shown in service kits on club parts brochure but not shown on website ...if in doubt always give the humans a call HQ always pleased to Help Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think (though I'm struggling to find any confirmation) that the 22D is the one with tacho drive and vacuum advance, while 25D doesn't have tacho drive, and 23D doesn't have vacuum advance. The 43D and 45D are corresponding later versions, not sure whether they ever made a 42D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iana Posted May 2, 2019 Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 I’m just in the process of checking what dizzy on my vitesse mk1 as I want a need cap and some spare points etc. Its got Lucas on the side and 22D on the base. Glad I checked as I thought it was a Delco from parts booklets etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johny Posted May 2, 2019 Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 Yes that's the same as mine. Always wished the leads had right angle plugs into the cap though as I think it would look neater😕 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NonMember Posted May 2, 2019 Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 You can get R/A leads (in fact I think mine has them but that might be the GT6 or the Spitfire) and they are neater, just not what everyone lists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave.vitesse Posted May 2, 2019 Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 All 2 Litre Vitesse were fitted with the Lucas 22D6 dizzy. This is basically the 25D with a taco take off. The cap should be the same as the Tr5/6. GDC115. The early, single dial, Vitesse 6 was with the Lucas 25D6. The later four dial Vitesse 6 was fitted with the Delco dizzy and over it's production there were 2 versions of the Delco fitted to the Vitesse 6 due to changes made to the head. I cover the above in an article a number of years ago. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
