Larry -
No, that early type on the 100 is still a one piece housing and shaft
housing unit (DM2), not a two piece like the DVX4. I shelved my DVX4
and put on a Pertonix dizzy on the A90. Jeff at Advanced Distributors
was actually sort of bummed out I didn't give him my DVX4 to rebuild,
I sort of understood how he felt....
Best.

external, and used to rotate the entire body of the distributor to achieve
advance? If so they were a real shocker once everything started to wear. There
was one on an old Austin A70 motor I had to use in my Healey years ago while I
was rebuilding the Healey engine ( back in the days the Healey was my only
transport ). The distributor used to wobble constantly!
