I have standard 1600HF Distributor with points and MSD 6AL with MSD Coil.

Engine turning over fine now with new Starter but apart from initial spark no start.

Maybe points have closed up or condeser has died?

What part numbers are recommeded (yes 123 Ign would be nice but rather more Euros than in the bank right now).

Best

You don't have to go all the way to a full distributor replacement; you can replace the points themselves with a Hall sensor, like a Pertronix system. Works very well in my 1600, at a fraction of the 123 unit (though I wouldn't suggest that this is quite as good a solution as the programmable advance curve in the 123).
