It's not for the distributor. I have another 3-pronged female connector that I
marked 'distributor' that comes out from the black box. This
other connector is in the same bundle as the alternator connection. It's pretty
dirty inside the connectors, that's why I was thinking it
may have had something to do with the (removed) emissions controls.

Subject: [MG-MGB] Re: [Mgs] What are these wires?
They could be for the electronic distributor. The early (and very troublesome)
'Opus' system with the electronics in the distributor body had white,
white/blue and white/black wires. The later (and very reliable) CEI system
with the electronics module on the inner wing has yellow/red and black wires.
It looks to me like the off-car distributor you posted a photo off is the
earlier Opus type, the one on-car is a points type, and the photo of the engine
bay with the black box behind the bonnet strut is for the later CEI system!
You will have fun getting something working out of that lot.
The single green will be for the Zenith manifold heater.
