bad because of this??

That's a supplemental ground strap. Protects the throttle and kickdown
cables from melting during start up if the main ground cable from the
battery fails.

The goal when driving is to miss the maximum number of objects.

I do not think it would make a lot of difference in the engine's
performance.

The plate is used to mount the distributor cap to the head: an
interface, really, which can be adjusted to change the timing.

So long as you have enough of it intact to tighten the cap at the
position you want, and keep it there, it should be OK.

I'm a little concerned that the crack may spread, causing part of the
distributor baseplate to fall away. All things considered, even though it
may be working okay now I think it would be good to get a replacement from a
dismantler.

That distributor is really difficult to get back together right. Getting the
rotor to line up is a devil's choice: either set the distributor in place
with the cap off so the rotor can be turned by hand, or try to get it to
line up with the cap on so the bushing that holds the sensor wire is held in
place. I would not be surprised if that's how it came to be broken.

Whereabouts on the engine is the break, Jarek? A larger area in the picture
might make it more identifiable.

All the best, Peter.

If I'm seeing the picture correctly, it is the end of the distributor base
plate (B230 engine with the distributor on the tail of the cam shaft) that
is broken, right above the mounting hole on the starboard side of the
engine.

Yes, You are right. I must buy a new distributor? or this broken can't give
any problems with engine's working??

what sensor give the signal to EZK to accelerate the
ignition
when driving?? If I good known, the EZK117 in B230F hasn't got the
underpressure sensor from intake mainfold. I know that knock sensor is only
to put down the ignition when it's to high.

This module over the pedals is EZK or ECU?? Where I can found the ECU
module? The ECU is connected with EZK or it's only for fuel system??
