Q & A: Distributors
Hi John,
A brief question for you. I'm installing a 1800 GA motor in my 57' MGA. The distributor (DM2) from the original 1500 motor is in excellent condition. Can I use the DM2 distributor with the 1800 motor without a loss of performance?
Martin
Martin,
YES, you can use the MGA distributor, The later, MGB has a slightly different advance curve, but if you time it with a dial back timing light at 32 BTDC at about 4000 rpm, vacuum disconnected, then it will run great.

It makes no difference how quickly your MG will accelerate if it cannot
stop! The proper functioning of your brakes must ALWAYS be at the
top of your list of priorities. You owe this degree of safety to yourself,
your passenger, and all others on the road.
