Listers, I have a newly rebuilt, balanced, 1972 MKIV 1300 engine that I'm about to drop into my project chassis after having a couple of mods made at the machine shop (increasing compression ratio from 8.0:1 to 9.5:1 and having the cam reground for better performance). The original engine was fitted with a vacuum retard distributor, however I don't have one at all at present. I'd like to find a vacuum advance type, the Delco D200, that was fitted to all the other Mk3 1300 engines. Is there any reason I can't use this type of distributor, or am I free to try and source one of these, so I might actually be able to run the engine eventually? ;-) TIA.
