Now there's a thing. Thought I'd better have a shufty at me points since I hadn't had the top off me dizzy since getting me III.

Unnerneath is a rotor arm (obviously!), but other then that theres just a black plastic 'doughnut' with 'all components in this distributor are factory set and need no adjustment while in use' or something very similar written on it.

That's electronic ignition right? Ain't seen one before & expected it to have points & condenser in there!

Thas why I always stuck t'points in me Shov'. If they did go wrong you could fix 'em. Easy enuff to carry spare points & condenser in me tool roll. Still, prob' less affected by water & that, so a bonus in me truck.
