Car Forum / MINI / August 2003Distributor
Recently bought a 1969 998 cooper engine and I want to install it on my 1991 mini. Will my 1991 distributor fit and work on the 998 cooper engine? I fitted an electronic ignition kit to this distributor and I don't really want to go back to the contact breaker points.

The advance curve may (will!) be completely wrong though. If it's an electronic dizzy 5*d4, I think the dog is a little different, but can be made to fit with some 4*D4 parts. http://www.ime.org.uk/ime/d/dizzy_turbo_preaplus.html Good info there, thought about it myself, but struggled finding an electronic dizzy! splam > If its a 23d4,25d4,43d4 or a 45d4 it will fit. > The advance curve may (will!) be completely wrong though.

They are not interchangeable with the earlier type. The body on the later ones is different too (the mounting changed). So changing a few earlier parts is not enough really.

Probably not. The 1991 model is almost certainly an A+ engine, and the distributor mounting is totally different.
