You'll also need a suitable coil and connection loom

And then you will have problems getting the car through the MOT as it will need to pass the injection emissions.

Buy a second hand 65D dizzy and get it rebuilt and recurved to suit your setup.

What would the cost be to get it rebuilt and curved? Have seen a few 65d dizzys for around £60-70 brand new, or would I still need to get it recurved to achieve the best performance even with a brand new dizzy?

A dissy is a simple thing,if it physically fits and rotates and has points it will run your engine if correctly timed.Granted the curve may be poor and the max advance may be incorrect but this could also be the same with any other ,even the one the car had originally,Google Kettering Ignition system.You might surprise yourself and become a distributor god.Good luck with it,Steve..

Cheers man I’ll check it out. That’s the thing I’ve seen a few people use the 59d on the carb conversions, even the kit from minimania comes with this dizzy, and they seem to be a fair bit cheaper. As much as it would be nice I’m not trying to increase the power hugely with the car, just make it a bit more sporty, so if a part has minor power gains over another but costs a lot more I’ll go for the cheaper option, as I’m only 17 and haven’t even passed my driving test yet. I just want the car to be as reliable as I can get it whilst also being fun. Cheers guys

As regards to a carb which would be best suited to my spec? Although I may find the Nikki carb works perfectly when I properly set up the timing I’m thinking I still may replace it just due to the much greater amount of spare parts and guides online for an su carb.
"A high lift cam" isnt specific enough to give proper advise.

Sorry mate, the cam is a 264 Evo Fast Road Cam

If I was in your position I'd fit a second hand unit, checking for spindle play before fitting incase the unit needs rebushed.

If you want the car to be reliable buy an electronic distributor. The 65D (with vacuum advance can) is the closest curve you'll get to your current distributor.

I've said this before and you keep spreading this misinformation. A 65D is not a good reference for a distributor curve . There multiple 65D distributors around with different advance curves. More than 10 different possible curves. All very different. I've posted the PDF with these curves before.

A 65D will work perfectly fine on any engine. The wear from the wrong curve will take 100,000+ miles to cause any damage.
I've had a 65D fitted to a 998 A+motor for 10 years with no issues what so ever being caused by the wrong curve. I only post what I know and can prove.

Well if that's the case how does a 65D dizzy work on a 998 engine 😉

Because of luck, maybe.
"The wear from the wrong curve will take 100k miles to cause any damage". No, just no.
Haven't you seen moke spider 's post on what happens with wrong distributor curves?
Saying that it takes 100k miles to do damage is a good explanation why you dont notice what curve you actualy need.

11 different 65dm4 curves. 11.
