The ignition advance curves are different to suit the different engines, and on the earlier distributers, the fixing method for the distributor cap is also different.

So which distributor whould better suit a mi16 engine just out of intrest.

The mi distributor would be the best.......!!! if you can get hold of a 16 valve loom

I have a 16v loom for mine i was just thinking about people using a 8v loom and carbs.

I'm guessing the 1.9 dizzy would be the better of the two but still not perfect. I guess this is why you can get so much more from an aftermarket mappable ignition management unit, when using carbs.

so when will the different will be shown?

at start? low/high rpm?

 

and does someone know what are the bosch num for the 1900 distributor? and what are the numbers for the 1600 distributor?

cheers.
