Looks to me like a damp liner rocker cover and the damp liner was not available with a carb so its probably a cam with the drive spigot for a direct distributor cap/arm but modified to run the fully centrefugal distributor setup. Would be interesting to see how the conversion peice had been made, it should be sound enough but I'd want more than 2 peices of threaded bar to hold the distributor in place as its not like an injection setup, any little rotation of the dizzy will have drastic effects on the performance of the engine.

There is a bolt through the adaptor too, further backing up the fact there is a distributor drive peg in there.

I agree with Access_denied get an MPi 8v or 16v unit in of some sort. No one seems to modify the base colour cars very often, its usually just metallics so would be nice to be different.
