That's a supplemental ground strap. Protects the throttle and kickdown cables from melting during start up if the main ground cable from the battery fails.

You have posted the wrong photo.

It does NOT show the distributor.

I do not think it would make a lot of difference in the engine's performance.

The plate is used to mount the distributor cap to the head: an interface, really, which can be adjusted to change the timing.

So long as you have enough of it intact to tighten the cap at the position you want, and keep it there, it should be OK.

I'm a little concerned that the crack may spread, causing part of the distributor baseplate to fall away. All things considered, even though it may be working okay now I think it would be good to get a replacement from a dismantler.

That distributor is really difficult to get back together right. Getting the rotor to line up is a devil's choice: either set the distributor in place with the cap off so the rotor can be turned by hand, or try to get it to line up with the cap on so the bushing that holds the sensor wire is held in place. I would not be surprised if that's how it came to be broken.

Whereabouts on the engine is the break, Jarek? A larger area in the picture might make it more identifiable.

All the best, Peter.

If I'm seeing the picture correctly, it is the end of the distributor base plate (B230 engine with the distributor on the tail of the cam shaft) that is broken, right above the mounting hole on the starboard side of the engine.

what sensor give the signal to EZK to accelerate the ignition when driving?? If I good known, the EZK117 in B230F hasn't got the underpressure sensor from intake mainfold. I know that knock sensor is only to put down the ignition when it's to high.

This module over the pedals is EZK or ECU?? Where I can found the ECU module? The ECU is connected with EZK or it's only for fuel system??
