It's hard to go wrong with the simple, easy-to-install, inexpensive Pertronix. One is working well in my 25D. You will still need the vacuum unit. Someone in our CT MG Club recently mentioned at a me

Quite right; I should have said more in my reply to the original question. Yes, I do have the Pertronix, but it was installed as a patch to compensate slightly for the worn distributor bushing. It d

Yeah, just grab the rotor and jiggle it from side to side. Or have someone crank the motor with the cap off. It's usually pretty obvious. If you pull the distributor, then it's totally obvious when y

If you can jiggle the rotor side to side I believe is the test. You'll find a ton of links to everything I've found MG at: http://horton.iaces.com/~ptroot/car/ World Wide Auto is: http://www.mailbag.

It's easy, and done right on the car. Grip the rotor, shake it around. If the rotor, or more accurately, the shaft, wobbles side to side in any direction, it's loose. One would suspect that it is lo

Erratic timing (timing light on the pulley showing a variation whilst the engine is held at a constant speed) is one indication, although that can also be caused by wear in the timing chain and gears
