i dont no the cr or the cam but the needle is from my brothers crashed cooper (along with the carb) it says BBZ on it and it is really rich at the moment and by rich i mean 12mpg rich :!: and the dizzy is an aidon performance one. i went to the garage the next day and he said that it was a bit of bair wire from the coil to the dizzy so he taped that and now its fine. i have done 411 of the 1000 miles in 1 week so flat out soon :D

Glad to hear it was only a small problem.The BBZ is a good place to start to get the engine running and do a few miles but you would want to tune it before pushing it harder.Without the CR and cam type you'll need a rolling road and make sure they have a stock of needles rof your HIF carb.
