Removing dizzy

[tr7v8mike]

Hi, I have a RR P38 engine and I am going to remove the dizzy and install electronic ignition (Megasquirt).  Does anyone know where I can get a plug for the hole left by removal of the dizzy?  Rimmer Bros don't have anything.

Thanks

No, but I have happily used the Lumenition Optronic system on a number of cars, retains the dizzy.
Currently in my Land Rover with Rover V8, and my Rambler with factory 327.

Does that engine have a crank-driven oil pump?  If not, you will need something to drive the oil pump.  I saw, but can't find anymore, a place in the UK that will remove the top of the dizzy and put on a nice caps.

If you still need to drive the oil pump, check out the "dinky dizzy":
