Andy,
Thanks for the information on the distributor appropriate home.
This engine of mine was taken apart and much of it was in boxes, so I can't
check it there; but, I have another TR4A which runs. I want to insert it
in there, to see how it performs with this distributor. Just curious. Will
let you know. After that I will make sure it get to its appropriate home in
a Mini Cooper S.
