I'm guessing its to do with the fuel pump. The carb mechnical one isn't there so it must have another sort.

Also on a H reg it would of had the early cam cover and thats the later type.
I'm guessing the engine was from a very late R100 MPi as the mechnical fuel pump hole is blanked out of the casting of the head. On early Spi cars it has a bolted on blank which can be easily removed.

Really like the car, look in very good condition.

Looks to me like a damp liner rocker cover and the damp liner was not available with a carb so its probably a cam with the drive spigot for a direct distributor cap/arm but modified to run the fully centrefugal distributor setup. Would be interesting to see how the conversion peice had been made, it should be sound enough but I'd want more than 2 peices of threaded bar to hold the distributor in place as its not like an injection setup, any little rotation of the dizzy will have drastic effects on the performance of the engine.

There is a bolt through the adaptor too, further backing up the fact there is a distributor drive peg in there.

Looks like the ideal car to be upgraded to MPI, imagine popping the bonnet on an H reg to se a plastic inlet manfiold, even more trick if you spray the ECU hanger that color too, that color is synonimous with the base level models so it would be nice to see one packing technology.

With a bit of luck it will have been fitted with the electric pump from the same donor car but I bet its got a facet pump fitted, maybe an MG one.

I agree with Access_denied get an MPi 8v or 16v unit in of some sort. No one seems to modify the base colour cars very often, its usually just metallics so would be nice to be different.

Im sure they do fit behind the 5 spokes (they sit further out that 6 spokes) I think Togusa had gti brakes behind his
