The main problem with a drop in magneto in place of a distributor is that there is a far heavier load on the drive gear system. Austin seven distributor gears will wear very rapidly if a mag is substituted.

Not to mention the increased load on the drive casing supporting a much larger magneto and distributor assembly.
