MGB 25D dizzy rebuild

[dpsmgb]

I recently removed dizzy and electronics from my 75
It had a 25D with old electronic ignition. I am going to put in points and condenser. Upon removing the old electronics I see on the base plate an area that has been filed/ground off.
Does anyone know what was there?
It’s on the right side of the picture
Thanks

can't tell you what is there but, Jeff Schlemmer at Advanced Auto is the go to guy for a distributer rebuild. He also recurves it for today's gas - super easy guy to work with

Thanks, I have talked to Jeff. I may send it out next year.
I feel I don’t have enough information about my engine yet that he needs to recurve the dizzy.
Appreciate your comments

And what has been ground off was the pivot post for the points.

 

[dpsmgb]

Thanks but I think I can still use mine. I’ll let you know how it works out

I see that now. Part number on box, as well.

I have a British car used parts source near me that I’m going to tomorrow. I should be able to get anything I need..thanks again for your help.

Another bit of info; you can get replacement points sets from NAPA or other parts stores. "StanPart" Standard Ignition Products. Rotor is: LU-300, not recalling points P/N, LU-316 or LU-319 maybe. Lucas numbers are: DSB958C for points, DRB101C for rotor.

I got all of the parts installed and in the car. All I need now is the wire that goes from the distributor to the coil.

 

[DrEntropy]

A ten inch piece of 12-gauge multi-strand with female ends, wrapped around a pencil to coil it!

We wanna hear "VROOM!!!"

 

[dpsmgb]

Oh I do too…I want lots of VROOMS!

[dpsmgb]

Where are you located?

 

[DrEntropy]

About 2K miles south of you!

 

[dpsmgb]

So apparently I won’t be visiting any time soon.
Thank you for your continued assistance

 

[DrEntropy]

Hope it helps!

And use that Lucas magnetic proximity unit for a door stop! That's about all it's good for.

Others may defend it but in my experience a mag proximity ignition is bollocks. You can carry an entire spare points-type dizzy plate with all parts attached, in the glovebox, for a few bucks.
