AFAIK the distributer is next to the double overhead underhang sorry mate couldnt resist that one shite day at work an all that

no distributor. The DIS pack is helpfully located on the back of the block on the nearside!! (location 'A' on the pic)

Oh, no! Second lesson, unfortunately. If a cat equipped car misfires stop the engine.
