The package arrived today, safe and sound. 

Thanks -

Getting closer - Customs is handling it.

Awesome! 

Packed and ready to go.

In the mail tomorrow...

Sorted - thanks Terry!

Shipping from the U.S. has typically been 1½ weeks for small items, which is by my math still better than 4...

E-mail sent!

Won't shipping from the US kill the time as well?

Send me an email.

The wait is killing me, so perhaps someone's got a (good) one sitting in a box that they'll not likely use...

I've got a distributor being rebuilt/re-curved in the UK right now, and it's going to be another 4 or so weeks until it's done. 

So, while I'm waiting, I'm entertaining the option of a lightly used or NOS off-the-shelf solution; something I install and compare to the the 2 unit's I'd had rebuilt (and are giving just a tad too much mechanical advance) by H&H in the UK.  Yes, I know I could weld a bit (0.015" / degree) to the heal, but I'd rather not... 

So, since I know that the Aldon Yellow (100AY (A-series, w/out vac. advance)) can and has been used on engines similar to mine (//www.1978mgmidget.com/Special_Tuning_for_948_1098.pdf ). 

Of course, if anyone has an actual C-27H7766 (100AYV), even better. 

My reason for asking about a non-vacuum advance model?  Simple - the 43D casting is no longer available, so Aldon uses the 45D casting which has the cut-out; they simply blank it off with a tabbed plate to locate the dizzy cap, so I can fit a vacuum advance and baseplate if needed.

I'm looking for a bargain - at the end of July, my custom unit will be finished and if need be, I've got a new Aldon waiting in my 'shopping basket' on Aldon's website.  But I'd prefer something 'dirty'; I can't really afford more new distributors right now, and we've got the Historic Grand Prix coming up soon.

Any help or (responsible) suggestions welcome.
