    123 distributor fitted but underpowered?

    I did check the leads and all seemed seated well. Just to quash this element of doubt am I correct with the no1 lead above rotor that is pointing at no1 cylinder, then 4 3 2 in clockwise direction after no1

    Mixed bag of stuff

    I don't believe they are handed as its a straight bar from bottom to top. Checked adverts for new ones and no mention of LHD/RHD. These are by no means Berg shifters but the general opinion is that they are much better than an Empi version.
