Is that a Bosch blue coil in there? If the car has the correct CD ignition box (aluminum finned unit that hums at high frequency on the left side of the engine compartment when the key is turned on and/or car is running) Then that coil is not compatible with CDI ignitions and needs to be swapped out with the correct transformer (warning do not touch while ignition is turned on!!). Another clue is if the distributor has a condenser attached- Non CDI systems use a condenser.
That pipe welded to the cover is indeed odd. Perhaps a previous owner had it hooked up to a pre heat pipe for extra cold weather? Didn't know it got that cold in NZ.
Otherwise the pic shows updated Carrera tensioners and is tidy.
