The thing with the red and blue wire?
That's a new cam position/distributor sensor I found off ebay. Its for a Peugeot 505, it was only around 15$. It should work good for modding the distributor on the m116. I might be able to fit it in without doing any mods that cant be reversed. the bracket its attached to might not work, but its low enough profile that it could squeeze in there.
My goal for this build is to upgrade with the ability of being able to downgrade if I want to in the future. unfortunately I don't have a spare distributor housing that I could mod away on, so anything I do to it would be better if I could revert back to factory. That sensor is super low profile, it should fit inside the housing without drilling any clearance holes.
