- Go to http://www.mgb-stuff.org.uk/curvestext.htm and look up your dizzy by serial #. Hopefully you got one with a curve that will be OK for your engine. BTW, I use a 25D4 #40897 in my '69 B. Still us

- Well, um, here's the other interesting part of this story: There are no numbers on it anywhere. Weird, huh? No numbers on the body. No numbers on the vacuum canister. I took it all apart, looking for

- You remembered correctly. The 45D is technically superior to the 25D design, especially when fitted with points. In general the cap and rotor re-design makes the unit less prone to carbon tracking m

- You could take it to a shop with a dizzy machine and plot the curve, including the vac unit; then compare it to the 25D4 that you have already. Hope you haven't wasted your $$. Cheers, CR

- The two point sets for the 45D are pretty different. The type used on the Federal 45D4 on 1975 vehicles and the original Lucas 41427 is the DSB108. This point set looks pretty much like the old DSB1
