The saga continues. The electronic kit is fitted to the distributor & now the starter is playing up! (See new post). Try it on the handle to check for a spark... Although new engine mounts were fitted last year & the Starting handle fitted...it now will not engage sufficiently into the crank dog! So something has moved!
I'm going on holiday...it will wait

Quick update. I replaced the distributor plate with the one fitted to the original distributor (that I replaced with the Lucas B90 unused one and that seemed to cause the condenser/coil problem)
Guess what… immediately started and has worked ever since…touch wood no coil overheating 😃
I will measure the dimensions inside the distributor so the electronic kit supplier can work out why theirs did not fit! I am still keen to go electronic…
Planning to take the car to the Rallye de Fougeres in Brittany in June 2026
