stock engine? the early 1300s are getting thin on the ground so bits are hard to come by.

You could go electronic ignition and use a kr dizzy with the ignition pack and stuff instead, probably cheaper than buying a reconned points dizzy.

think the hydro dizzy is different fitment to the solid lifter one unfortunatly. think you need to locate a solid lifter head dizzy, or fit the kr one as above. need the kr spark controller to go with it, ign curve wont be right for a 1.3 but you never know it might work alright

beardy: yeah you also need to get the kr ecu to go with it, as kr dizzy is fully electronic so no weights or vac unit for ignition advance. all of it is done by the kr ecu see
