Ballast System
It was a Ballast system, but I have converted it to the traditional type, by removing the resistor and fitting a new 12V feed to the coil which is a DLB105.

Matching coil to distributor
Is the MSC105 (DLB105) the right coil for the electronic 45D distributor 12G4180MS? I have asked the question to minispares but they can't seem to give me an exact answer.

Hot Coil
My coil also gets hot, but the car never had a ballast resistor or resistor wire. Mini was built in 1979. I'm using a Lucas Sports Coil DLB105 and sliding blue points. I'm not electrically inclined - is this 'normal'?

Electronic ignition problem
I just installed a new electronic ignition in my 1275 today. I installed it because the old distributor developed a nasty intermittent missfire that wouldn't let the car idle worth a damn. The new distributor and coil fixed the problem, and the car idles great. It accelerates great. There's just one problem...it won't start unless I retard the timing by rotating the distributor. Once running, I have to advance the timing to make it run normal. So each time I drive the car, I have to manually adjust the timing. The vacuum advance is connected, and the wiring is all correct. Like I said, it runs great once running. Anyone have any experience with this? I'm fairly mechanically savvy, but I have yet to encounter anything like this. Is there an adjustment in the distributor that I can either advance or retard the static timing while leaving the running timing advanced? Just for reference, I installed a Powerspark D10 distributor and a Lucas Sport DLB105 coil.
