Check the distributor clamp.

A series 2 - 7/16 bolts securing it to the block

A plus 1 - 11mm bolt

Is it actually 11mm or the size that the bumper nuts are (imperial closest equivalent to 11mm)?

Quite a lot of things changed to metric when the metro came out, huh?

A series has a "smooth" block.
A+ has got ribs on it for extra stiffness.

11mm = 7/16th's and yes it's still an imperial not metric bolt 3/8 24 UNF with a small sized head..

But as siggy says, quickest was is to look at the dizzy fixing plate.
