BMC UK issued a technical bulletin on the introduction of the 40819H series distributor (Bulletin No. 1A 48 F19 dated 5th November 1965). It quotes the change point as engine no. 9F/SA/Y36587 which dates to April 1965, although I have seen an `H' series distributor dated `3 65'. Unlike its predecessors the `H' series has an oil sealing ring in the mounting shank.

Referring to Australian Cooper S's in particular, does anyone know the introduction date for the 29D4 62941090A Lucas Australia distributor? The Lucas parts list AV3 just states 1968-70. I have come across one dated 10 68, but a previous comment on this tread hints that it may have been many months earlier.

I have seen The 29D in post June 1967 cars

I recd an email and was asked to comment on the introduction of what most people call
the Mk11 distributor and because I try to be a nice Guy I made a comment,
that Distributor was introduced in 1967 around June July on the Mk1 :o

That's very interesting. Is the cap you purchased black and embossed with Lucas Australia on the top? If so, what is the eight digit part number embossed inside the top of the cap around the centre post?
