New 1.1 Owner

Hello, I just picked up a 77 1.1 imported car here in America, and I have a few questions about the car. Currently it's not running and I am on the hunt for a new distributor. Any ideas where I can find a new one? Second question, what kind of highway cruising speeds can I expect in the car, any ways to make it peppy, go a little quicker? Just really worried I might not be able to keep up with modern traffic and considering my options before I start throwing money at this motor.

Hi dfrag and welcome to the forum.

I have a 1.1 Mk1 (for now) and it will cruise at 65-70mph on the motorway no problems at all. Hope that is some help to you.

Smudger.
