Hi shrule

It's very easy to fit and simply replaces the points and condenser.
Should you get one and need any tips in fitting it, please ask.
Regards,

Mine is a Bestek setup

..you get a distributor, module and also a Cosworth coil pack, does away with the ballast resistor and converts it to 12V continuous feed. Standard, fast road, race and rally setups available. Rally for me

Re: Electronic ignition
I've got an Aldon in mine and it works a treat. Fit and forget as they say. I know Nick has one too and so did someone else but can't remember who.Andrew 2.8i wrote: ↑Fri Sep 10, 2021 3:48 pm I haven't got any first-hand experience, but if it helps, Aldon were recommended to you in the replies to your earlier question.

I bought an accuspark kit first but it refused to work. Might be that I just had a faulty one rather than the general quality of them is poor though as I know a lot of other people use accuspark without issue

Re: Electronic ignition
Oh that reminds me, I had one of those too. Never had any problems with it although I have heard it gives a weak spark. If true, in practice, it wasn't noticable.Andrew 2.8i wrote: ↑Fri Sep 10, 2021 3:48 pm I haven't got any first-hand experience, but if it helps, Aldon were recommended to you in the replies to your earlier question.
