So if i win the item can someone please recieve it for me and send it on (obviously i'll pay the shipping upfront).

ditto! i suppose you get what you pay for and at price you can't grumble

vacuum advance and module are at 12o'clock and 6o'clock (need to be 12 and 9), rotor arm and cap touched on one point (throw it away and buy a proper lucas one instead) and female connectors on coil pick up move causing poor connection with module!

the problem is when your not sure whats wrong with car shelling out £115 compared to £400 is hard to ignore but spend a couple of hours modifying it and using parts from old one and hey presto

Was a 35DLM8 Lucas distri.

So yeah thankfully going original parts, the previous owner had his distributor die on him and had it replaced with the internal amplifier one (38DE8 i think?), which died on me. Hope this one will last, luckily i have my almost brand new magnetic pickup and rotor arm and if the amp ever dies it's an easy fix with these external ones me reckons.
