Just my own opinion here, but I think that all these new electronic parts t=
hat they make for our cars are really nothing more than 8junk that they sel=
l to make money and keep their businesses going. As you proved your self yo=
u installed the original unit and it worked fine.
What I am wondering John, you drove your car 250 miles there and 250 miles =
back to have an electronic part installed that nearly burned your ignition =
wires by a company that claim to be pretty good at what they are doing. To =
my thinking, you sound like you likely would have done just as well yoursel=
f as you reinstalled the original on the side of the road.
This is not to say these places are to be avoided, but I still think that i=
f you have tinkered enough with your Austin-Healey over the years, you are =
probably the best person to keep it running smooth.

OK I'll bring up an recent experience I've had. Bought an electronic
dizzy for my 64 BJ8 and had a experienced shop install it because they
have a dyno to help choose one of the 16 curves available. The
technician called me up and said the unit shorted out right after
installation almost burning ignition wires. BTW shop is 250 miles from
me. Ordered another one to be shipped to the shop. They installed it
and set it for program number 9. Picked up the car and drove it towards
home. After about 50 miles on interstate it started to cut out
intermittently. Was able to stop at a convenience store, replaced the
dizzy with the original, which worked fine and drove home. I think I'll
leave it as it is for now.
