B20E distributor 140-160

Bosch JFURX4 if it's still D-Jet. Already can't remember...
that would need any of these:
006
010
021
087
033

the pickups are a little cassete deal you slip in I think, at the base.

but if it's carburetted, just about anything would work; you might like to experiment with different advance curves and timing to get that low end torque.

never diven a D-jet car, but both my carbed cars are pretty strong off-the-line; and use 003 & 007 dizzys, mechanical advance.

Yep, the 140s have a very live feel about them, you get used to power-nothing except brakes. Citroen Rally drivers initially didn't dig the semi-automatic gearchange, self-centering power steering that tightened at speed, the little hydraulic button with a half-inch of travel for a brake... and insisted on a "real" car in the early days. Driving both a DS and 140, I really appreciate the 140 ruggedness and substantial feel.

have a blast
