Someone had a bargain there!

Re: JGJ - 1975 Dolomite Sprint
The late Brian Kitley always advocated trying to keep used distributor drives, water pumps and jackshafts in mated groups and if he replaced one with new he'd recommend replacing all three....but then he was charging for parts and labour!It all has a new camshaft, jackshaft etc...
