Mechanical ignition system
A conventional ignition system is used on the 1.0 and 1.1 litre OHV models marketed in the UK before 1986. The system consists of a coil, a distributor with mechanical contact breaker, a ballast resistor and spark plugs. The distributor is mounted on the cylinder block and is driven from a skew gear on the camshaft. It incorporates both mechanical and vacuum advance capability.
