Hi all, got a little up date to this car. Just fitted electronic ignition to her (used Powerspark ) and upgraded the coil to a Lucas sport (gold) and leads.
Used a guy called Mr-Retro-Leads-Plugs, he built to my request (45 degree boot from distributer and a 33 degree plug boot on 1# which keeps things looking tidy)
charged £25 including postage which i think isn't a bad price.
I can now bypass the coil resister which give a bigger spark to the plug, this is the main reason for writing! she has always run fairly well
but now there is a marked improvment in her running/idling and cleaner burn smell at the exhaust. I would recomend giving this upgrade a go because using the old points and balance resister system doesn't get the best out of the engine.
Now I can not see a down side to this (Will would know if there is one) but I will be keeping the old points just in case, :-)
