To be honest you would get more for the dizzy kit than you would for the entire engine anyway.

As its an spi, the dizzy isn't really a dizzy.... It's just there for convinience.

But as i questioned and MK confirmed its a carb, or got a mechanical fuel pump for convenience:p

I fail to see what's so special about the dizzy, it's use a bosch one, it's not the 1.4 one. Also it has a lambda sensor so it is an spi just had a different cam box fitted.
