Range of distributors with modern day curves specially built,programmed and tested for Mini Spares in UK.
Beware of the cheap China made units that we have tested and currently offered by other vendors that are poorly made with wrong settings. See note at bottom

TAM1706 A Plus 59D for any 1275cc with vac unit for modern day fuel and mildly tuned engines. For best performance and tune we advise our electronic evolution version
C-27H7701 Curves and advance for modern day poor petrols. Distributors can 'work' long past their useful life! These are priced to help save money on rebuilds with a vac unit fitted to compliment modern day fuel and timing, unlike all previous types available which never fulfilled engine potential. If you want to get the most from the performance of your engine a very good distributor is a must! good for any metro 1275cc engine in a mini or metro--See
ADU3825MS for electric type without contact breakers.
DODGY DISTRIBUTORS
We’ve seen distributors with all different curves in the same batch. Base plates
that stick and alter the curves, sometimes jamming in full advance. When tested
we had difficulty getting them to run correctly when using a timing light and we
found that the rotor arm and dog at the bottom of shaft was often out of phase
putting the rotor arm in wrong position in relation to the point at where the spark
fired. We also found rotor arms that were hard up against the carbon bush in the
top of distributor cap causing the cap to burn away in middle.
Having tried and tested countless suppliers of imported and British made
distributors we had all ours individually built and tested to prevent costly engine
failures and breakdowns for the following reason - those suppliers were unable
to advise what curves were in them - we rarely found them the same in any
batch! Every part, even so-called ‘Mini Spares branded parts’ are being copied
for financial gain as Minis climb in popularity and value. Unscrupulous
companies can get parts made cheaply overseas, but they lack the technical
knowledge and precision required to make them correctly
