I've used the carburettor exchange in Leighton Buzzard, in Bedfordshire.

They've rebuilt carburettors for a number of my cars in the past.

Hi Paul
People who've installed Gammatronix units speak very highly of them:

123 ignition. They are pricy but work great.
And I don't think you have a vacuüm advance, but I recommend ordering one with vacuum advance. Then you can use it in multiple cars. Or attach vacuüm advance yourself. This reduces consumption a bit.

This is the right one and you can check the sev number to check.

You have the small 845cc distributor and you may find that some electronic ignition kits will not fit inside. R5s and later 845 R4s were equipped with the larger diameter Ducellier unit, similar to those fitted on GTL engines. You may have to fit one of them but be careful, spindle drive is completely different from the larger engine one.

Main reason I changed the complete e unit, was because in short period of time 2 contact points broke. One aftermarket and 1 new original old stock. Making my r4 unreliable. They broke although I had a elektronic ignition kit mounted so no more high voltage over the points
