M20 325, What's missing?

[ianarthur]

Hi all
In the process of building up an engine in a 1990 E30 (although this is a replacement lump) however I appear to be missing a part.

Photo below and hopefully you can make out is on the inlet side of the engine next to the dipstick, it almost looks like a dizzy drive however the rotor arm and cap are on the end of the cam shaft.

What's missing? and ideally has anyone got one!

Hopefully the link below will work as for some reason I can get the IMG to work- Not a good day

There should be a metal pipe coming ng from inlet manifold. With a spring at the bottom

Its not that, that's already fitted. The is nearer the alternator.

you can just make it out on this photo

Yes, that would have been a dizzy drive for the older (pre-1988) L-Jetronic M20 engine. There should be a blanking plate that bolts on, using a bolt that goes into that threaded hole in the block.

Ah my bad. Photo was not clear enough

Thanks Speedtouch, I had hoped for a simple solution.

Will get a wanted add up now!
