The differences between the early and late setups involved all the
brake master cylinder, servo, mounting brackets and transfer bar.

1. Yes, washers or a spacer is correct so it sits vertical.
2. There are 2 types of master cylinder and brake servo setup, the
earlier type (A in the build manual) would have only been used on
earlier Mk2 Fiestas which also had an ECU for the ignition, this meant
it only needed a low profile distributor with no advance mechanism
This clears the type A master cylinder though the reservoir is cut away
on one side to help.
The later Mk2 Fiestas 1986 on had a type B brake setup with a smaller
master cylinder which was angled differently and cleared the end of the
now normal again distributor with vacuum advance.
I suspect you have a later engine in a car with the earlier brake setup.

right then folks
ive finally got the engine in (whaaayyy!!!!!!)
been wrestling it all day trying not to chip my freshly painted
chassis but its there.
a few questions have popped up in the process though
1. is it normal to have to put washers / spacers between the lower
bolt of the upper engine mount?
the old engine had a load of rusty washers here and I thought it was
just something necessary to fit the OHV engine into the 2+2 but it
would appear that the CVH needs this also, well it does on mine
anyway, ive made a slightly better job of it that the previous owner
by turning up a nice little stainless spacer to fill the gap, however
it still causes me to have doubts.
2. there is very little clearance between the brake master cylinder to
the distributor cap, about 10-15mm, I cant see any leads going to fit
there very well,
my dizzy has a black cap with straight connectors on it, was there an
option to get a cap with the lead ports at 90 degrees? or is there
some other way?
as ever cheers for any info.- Hide quoted text -
