[Healeys] 100 engine block I.D.

[John Harper]

Josef

I am not sure about the background to this query because the previously
attached emails are not very clear.

However I advertised an A90 Atlantic part engine with single bolt fixing
distributor but with it a modified distributor case that allowed a standard
A-H 100 distributor to be fitted.

It is not possible to fit a standard A-H to an A90 block by just fitting a
single hole clamp. In this situation the bolt fouls the distributor body
