This is ace, well done! I've not seen that distributor set up on a 1.4 before, is it the same type as the 1.8 Carlton?

This is ace, well done! I've not seen that distributor set up on a 1.4 before, is it the same type as the 1.8 Carlton? dunno the 2l carlton used the dizzy at the back but no room in the vette.. nothing fitted it even had a different size cam pully hense the machining it now bolts on and is pinned. it took a while to get it perfectly strait so as the belt didnt run off but is fine now. all he needs is a set of 40 dcoes and he'll be well away.. aparently 89hp std.. plenty more from a cam and carbs.. 120hp is no probs... annnnddd cheep insurance/tax.. si

Nice work Si,... We'll have to arrange a hook up to discuss what we can do with the CA16DE sat on a black and decker work mate in my garage right now... I've got no engine stand at the moment and won't be able to get my dads for a little while... I'm hoping to have the engine running in the car before the summer.. well before show season really kicks off... Drop me a PM with your number (I keep failing to put it in my phone ! : ) ...
