just the engine loom if at all possible, though its possible to make it work using the old one with a little thought. it depends what carb is fitted and also what ignition system is on the EG lump (contact breaker or electronic)

i had a look at the distributer and it has a 2 pin socket on the side, if this needs the loom is the another distributer which doesnt?

2pin means its a contact breaker dizzy so you're all set! service the points and away you go.

electronic ignition has 3 pin dizzy, but its easy to wuire in you need the TCI/ignition/spark control unit from the scuttle and the wiring loom between it and the dizzy/battery. then fit it easy!

only thign you have to do is unplug the old coil power wire, and give it a proper ignition live feed from somewhere else, or repalce the bay loom with a later one. the contact breaker coil has a resistor wire which reduces the voltage.

but you dont need to do any of that ;)

you will need to plug in the connector that was on the old 1.3 dizzy :)
