Mine's a B20a but I'm sure it will be easy enough.....

I'm happy so far with my Accuspark kit off e-bay for my Amazon B20, it just replaces the the points and condensor, you still use the original rotor arm, Done around 400 miles so far and its been reliable. touch wood. It cost around £45 if i remember correctly and came with a new coil.

Resurrecting an old thread

Had a new SS exhaust system put on my 144 so thought it was high time to tune it up a bit.

Never set tappets before, but just dived in. From tools out to tools away 40 minutes work and it makes a HUGE HUGE difference to the idle, smoother purr generally, not such a smell of un-burnt fuel

and it wasn't just the placebo effect.....HUGE difference

well chuffed
