Hi Guys, Going on the Pics in the brochure, it appears I should have a Dizzy with Vacuum advance. How does that connect? I am thinking of a 123 distributors. Could go the 29D that's currently on there, but I shluld have the vacuum advance.. Cheers BRett |

Yeah I tried to zoom in but it's not clear in those scans. There would be a visible thin vac advance tube running up to the carburettors if it had one. Do you think you can see a vacuum unit on the side of the dissy? |

Nah. They just haven't bothered with a footnote that the s has no vac advance. Should have a 23D fitted on Cooper S with No vac advance. |

Also remember this is marketing. If they had said in a footnote "no vac advance on Cooper S" then to the average person that makes it sound like the cooper s is missing out on a feature. |

Don't believe him Brett, everybody knows that the Mk 1.5 Cooper S has vacuum advance. |

The reason the S didn’t have vacuum advance is that it is a fuel economy device that works during part throttle cruise. No one was ever expected to drive an S other than balls to the wall…… And, fuel was cheap. Back then the local BP (Kensington) gave a discount if you bought $2 worth. The trouble was that you couldn’t fit 2 bucks worth in a Mini… But then no one said you could only fill up one Mini  No one should be without vac advance today. Cheers, Ian |
