Do you mean there isnt enough movement to get the timing correct?

If there isn't enough movement on the distributor pull it out and move it round a tooth.

All 413s have electric ignition, only the 410s had points.

Was the 1.3 carb'd? Or SPI? Did you not get the dizzy with the 1.6 if so why not use that?

Is this the same SJ that Holly was asking me for advice about on Facebook by any chance?

If so how's it running now?
