Default 164E ignition

A contact has erratic ignition, it only firing on half of the injectors. A replacement 'brain' was fitted but no change. He now thinks the triggering points at the lower end of the distributor, but I wouldn't have thought the car would only fire on three if the problem was them.
Another suggestion was a relay on the inner wing under the bonnet, but what it needs is an expert to advise: I am not one. Can anybody who knows please respond, as the car is currently immobile.
The loan of a complete functioning distributor would eliminate that entire unit if there is one in South Wales! This problem-car's owner will be eternally grateful.
