Hmmmm...sounds like your distributor has the remains
of the orignal Lucas "Opus" system. I think the one
you are describing is the earlier one, that needs only
an external ballast resistor. The later ones have next
to nothing inside the distributor, and an external box
on the inner wing (when used in an SD1).
