OK, I'm really confused, I watched the video again this morning, full screen 
mode, I stopped it at 57 seconds, clearly one can see an MSD plug wire hold 
down piece on top of what appears to be a distributor at the back of the 
engine.
Maybe our illustrious members from Australia can help clear this up. I for 
one am very much hoping it is a very heavily modified AMC engine, although 
for the life of me I don't understand why the distributor appears to be at 
the back.
