does any body know if there is a right angle dizzy conversion, to fit a swift/barina motor to my sierra? It was a 1.0 litre, self converted to a 1.3. it sits 12mm further forward than a std 1.3 would...due to smoke and epa warning, got to repair more quickly, bummer.

The only comercially available ones I've seen are for the twin cam motor.
I can't remember what we used on mine ( baleno 16v) but it involded the sierra lower housing with some front wheel drive dizzy housing ( early astra perhaps?) The big problem is that the standard dizzy will be spinning back to front.
You could always just cut and box a hole on the firewall above the heater.
