Hi Colin
You might want to check the direction of rotation.
I believe that Morris used Clockwise (Lucas define this as looking at the shaft end) which is Anticlockwise when looking down at the rotor arm.
Austin 7's use Anticlockwise (by the Lucas definition) which is Clockwise when looking down at the rotor arm.
This will have an effect on the way the advance mechanism is built.
Lucas define advance at the distributor, so that's 12 distributor degrees or 24 crankshaft degrees.
