These distributors have state of the art electronics. You should have a good understanding of the basic principles for installing distributors. ALWAYS! confirm your timing at the crankshaft against a point in the app with a timing light. This will sync the app and the motor.
If you do not feel qualified please reach out to your mechanic.

Note that there are dedicated 123-ignitions for Mini, Jaguar & MG.
Please check if the distributor need a connection for a mechanical rev.counter, as a 123\GB-4-R-V does not offer this.The unit offers a maximum total of 16 advance-curves to be selected by the end-user.
