Ive recently bought a 413 (1.3 litre) samurai van to get back on the road, however the engine is fitted with a distributor from the 410 (1 litre) engine, I think the engine is miss firing, will my engine run ok on this distributor, if not any ideas where i can find a 413 dizzy? thanks

Don't forget your need the coil as well (assuming the 410 coil was fitted as well as the dizzy).

As long as the points are set up correctly and the condenser and coil are fine then it should run fine.

You will get a stronger spark with an electronic dizzy though ;)
