From 1982on 998cc were fitted with a ballast coil which means a new wire must be fitted from fusebox top left terminal where there is a large white cable to the red wire on distributor. Failure to do this or incorrect wiring may destroy module and void warranty.

Question:
Does this distributor have a flat drive key (offset), on the bottom of the driveshaft? I can only see a round lower part of the shaft. It's for a 1975 Mini 1000 non-vacuum distributor, that we want to upgrade to electronic.
Answer:
That's a pre-A+ type, likely it will fit your Mini if the engine isn't a later replacement. The A+ types didn't come around until later.

Question:
Can this be used on an Austin Healey sprite with a 948cc motor with a scatter pattern APT cam of 296 degrees semi race motor?
Having a problem with fouling at low rpm on a non-vacuum advance distributor. Hard to get it to run well at the high end without fouling at the low end. The car has a relatively high compression motor that really only makes power above 3500 rpm. Dual SU H2 carburetors were recently rebuilt. Running a stock distributor with Pertronix and deleted vacuum advance. Has a header and will check runner size. It’s a race car that had work done before I bought it. Tends to carbon foul plugs at idle or partially off idle In first gear. If gets rev up over 3500 will clear but still have low-end stumble. Used to run a AN jet but was replaced on rebuild with one step richer needle.
Answer:
The C-27H7699 should work with your setup. It reads as though the curve is already set for a range that would be good with your cam.
I would like to suggest the thought that your problem does not sound like a distributor problem. It sounds more to me like a Carb, fuel mixture issue. A 296 cam is pretty radical for a 948cc motor.
A low end stumble is not out of the ordinary with a 296 in a street car. While most of the time it can be minimized if you have access to a dyno. I might suggest you recheck the camshaft timing. A typical 296 has a lobe center of 106 degrees. Advancing the cam timing to 102 would improve the bottom end performance while degrading HP/Torque at the 6,000 & above RPM range.
Most people with such a cam are using a Weber that allows for some pretty finite changes. It will be pretty difficult to guess at a SU needle that might be better.
If you don't have access to a dyno there are any number of air/fuel ratio gauges on the market. I suspect you are simply running too rich at the bottom and lean at the top but this is all speculation unless you same a measure of it.

NEGATIVE EARTH ONLY..Reproduction CONTACTLESS Distributor suitable for modern day fuels for 850 and 998cc pre 1974 with upgraded rotor arm "Negative earth only". A worn out distributor can cost you both performance and economy. Precise spark timing and distribution is the job of the distributor. Merely replacing the points and condenser will not fix the chronic problem of worn out bushes and shaft. These look like the originals apart from vac unit which has later push on connector.
Most A-Series cars had a vacuum advance distributor, only the Cooper S 12G2140 distributor had a full centrifugal version. The vacuum is designed to retard the timing under heavy load thus decreasing the chance of detonation. These units are guaranteed to out-perform your old tired version. The best test is to put a timing light on your car and watch as timing marks on the flywheel dance and bounce around as the engine changes speed, etc. Install a new distributor and try it again!! All the bounce will never go completely away as long as you are driving the distributor through a timing chain gear set to the crankshaft. Timing is ideally set by the crankshaft and thus unless you setup a "crank-fire ignition" some bounce will always be present! As little as possible is the best we can hope for!

The ULT0131 distributor demonstrates the best of all worlds. Built in electronics means long lasting, high performance, low maintenance operation. Performance advance curve (Aldon type) makes this ideal for all high performance street motors, while the use of a vacuum advance module allows for maximum low end performance with the best fuel economy! Can be easily adapted to any A+ engine with a simple two-wire installation.
A 'no compromise' Mini engine requires a no compromise distributor. The ULT0132 electronic distributor is just that! The electronic circuitry results in a perfect spark every time for extended periods. The performance advance curve (Aldon type) allows you to get the maximum from your engine while the full centrifugal advance (no vacuum) delivers the best in performance!
The ULT0133 is the ultimate classic distributor for all early model engines (pre-A+). It incorporates a vacuum advance module for optimum low end performance and fuel economy with a high performance advance curve. The advance curve has been optimized to provide the ideal spark timing for any engine that has upgraded performance expectations. This is a direct replacement/upgrade for the early 25D range of distributors.
To wire this distributor: the module has 3 inline terminals. Do not use the middle one. Hook up the coil negative wire to the pin farthest from the module's center, the "outside" pin. Hook up the coil positive wire to the pin closest to the module's center, the "inside" pin.

Remanufactured stock distributors are good as new at half the price for your MINI. As a distibutor wears out the control of ignition timing is increasingly difficult. While it is an easy project to replace the points and condensor, the distributor shaft and bushings that is worn will result in poor running, lower gas mileage and could even cause hard starting.
One of the best methods to determine the condition of your distributor is to simply use a timing strobe light and watch the timing mark on the flywheel at verious RPM's. It by the very nature of a mechanical system will show a 3 to 4 degree 'bounce' of the timing mark. As the distibutor wears out, this bounce could get to the point that it exceeds 10 to 15 degrees.

Remanufactured stock distributors are good as new at half the price. As a distibutor wears out the control of ignition timing is increasingly difficult. While it is an easy project to replace the points and condensor, the distributor shaft and bushings that is worn will result in poor running, lower gas mileage and could even cause hard starting.
One of the best methods to determine the condition of your distributor is to simply use a timing strobe light and watch the timing mark on the flywheel at verious RPM's. It by the very nature of a mechanical system will show a 3 to 4 degree 'bounce' of the timing mark. As the distibutor wears out, this bounce could get to the point that it exceeds 10 to 15 degrees.
