Is this in an MGB?  What's the details on the knock sensor etc?

The pistons have been ordered.

When I last dyno tuned my motor, I noticed that the timing did not
seem as steady as I'd like it to be. Would the problem likely be in
the distributor drive gear, the distributor or ... ?

Is there an easy way to check? Especially since I'm about to have my
motor torn apart again in a short while.
