This style of distributor (Lucas 45D4) was fitted to later MGB cars (1975-1980) but now it is available with weights and springs fitted for earlier cars.
When changing to this distributor, it may be necessary to fit later GHT184 HT leads which are a shade longer than the ones for the earlier 25d4 distributor.
