Marina Engine Distributor

Hi Guys,
I have a Morris Minor fitted with a Marina 1300 Engine.
I have been told the distributor fitted is a 25D.
This distributor has no vacuum advance fitted and looks more like a 45D.
My engine number is 12VE-H102604.
Can anyone identify the distributor?
Thanks Ian[frame]

It's not a 25D - may be a Ducellier dizzy. It seems to be held in with the normal clamp system - so a 45D with vacuum advance will be an ideal upgrade.

Thanks for your reply BMC
I have been told from the Marina forum that it is a 43D.
They also agree with you on the upgrade.
Would it be beneficial to upgrade to a vacuum 45D?
Is it easy to do?
What is the best 45D to buy, there are quite a few different manufacturers for sale on ebay.
All the best,
Ian

Thanks for that.

Yes - go vacuum - especially as I see you fitted an LCB, so you want to optimise the ignition timing. It's also an economy device. The Powerspark/Accuspark dizzies probably come from the same source - probably in India. And seem to get good reviews.
