[QUOTE="angus, post: 200427, member: 239"] Had a look at my timing last night and jumping about all over the place! Distributor (single vac type) is probably original, so shaft is a tad worn! Been meaning to fit a pertonix for ages so now seems like a good time to do so. Plan is to buy new vac distributor and pertonix kit and fit all at once. Stock seems harder to find for a Bosch unit (approx £100) where as repro at about £55 no issue. On my bog-standard SP 1600 do I really need a Bosch version, which was my first intention. Can get both the repro and pertonix together for the same price... Then I assume straight swap... I also like the idea of a pulley with timing marks on it. Was looking at a SCAT solid billet ali one (about £30) - should this also be a straight swap? I am sure I read somehwere about leaking oil seals, but maybe this is at the flywheel end. I guess main issue is getting the old pulley off in situ... Any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
