I bought a Midget for parts for my Morris Minor and decided it would be
pretty neat to replace the Morris distro with the electronic on from the
1500. I beadblasted it and did all the necessary rewiring and
installation, only to find out that, like yours, it was intermttent.
Ran great for a few miles, then stopped, then started, then stopped, and
so on..... So I went back to point and coil.
I have been running an Allison electronic ignition in my TR6. It must be
working okay cause I haven't even thought about it for a couple of years.
Only problem I have encountered is the fact that you have to grind some
plastic off the rotor to clear the optical pickup.
