Distributor drive housing dimensions

Post by iain1967s »

Hi. Does this look to be correct for a mini?

Seems about 1/4 inch too long when fitted to my S block.

Total length approx 2.166” [2-1/8” nominal]

Just looking at it, it appears too long.

It also doesn't have the groove for the O Ring.

Might be an early one or for a different series of engine.

Thanks. Looking at photos on eBay, it appears to be B-series for MGB etc.
