So some of you may know, from the pictures on the whatsaap group.... i finally got the Turbo distributor out and put in the MG Metro Naturally aspirated dizzy.
WOW - what a different Mini - pulls away with much more verve. Feels like i have injected new life into the motor.
Dont get me wrong, it still needs the carb to be fiddled with, as up in the reef it now starts without the choke, where as on the coast it HAD to have the choke on to start, so the mixture is no where near right.
BUT it is a good start, it must have done 140 or 150 kays on Sunday on the Jacaranda run, and pulled clean and strong all the way.
The wife (Pam) came with IN THE MINI for the first time since the DBN-JHB run all those years ago, she really appreciated the new quieter non leaking exhaust, thats for sure.
