 A word of caution: the 5 digit # stamped on the distributor casing will be misleading if you plan to have a "professional" shop rebuild it:
if you notice the "arrow" that was on the top (where the vacuum retard capsule goes) was "filed" off because the direction of rotation for the shaft is OPPOSITE what the 5 digit #s stand for.
In the late '90s, I sent 4(Lucas #41634 25D4) to a place in Pennsylvania for rebuilding. When I installed one, as the engine sped up the engine "died". After putting a timing light on it, I saw the "advance" was going the wrong way. I called the shop to get my original weights back and springs but they had been thrown away.
