I have a '79 Spit and am slowly doing little things to try to boost performance. I've seen a recent post by a lister who did kind of an electrical tune up. My question is what should I replace/upgrad

Bob, I second your query. I similary would like to know as my 76 has electronic ignition, but it's old and is it worth replacing - I plan on getting some more bhp in the future without major mods (tw

FWIW - a local chap has been digging through one of our "recycling yards" and collecting late series Japanese electronic ignition/distributors and playing with them on his Spitfire and a GT-6. He has

No experience with those parts on a Triumph, but I have both the Pertronix and Crane system (HI-6 with PS-91 coil) on my Porsche 914 and I'd expect similar effects. The Pertronix was added for a sing

John, but does it do anything over stock late Triumph in the area of performance is the question. Any idea? Alan FWIW - a local chap has been digging through one of our "recycling yards" and collecti

Strangely, the 1500 Competition manual recommends replacing the distributor with an earlier one to get a different (better) advance curve, and recommends going with points over electronic ignition. I

Chances are when this was written, electronic ignitions were in there infancy so to speak, and weren't nearly as reliable as rugged as they are today. Vibration and heat, the two main enemy of electr

I am not certain as to the performance increase aspect however, the fellows locally who have made this change report excellent results with a system the looks stock and is all recent manufacture. Fro

Back in the old days, we used an aftermarket Capacitive Discharge Ignition on the racecar. It was called Delta Mk 10. It was good for 8000+ RPM. I don't think the electronic ignition on later Spits w

I think what everyone's main point is that the electronic ignition is better than points, but it's not a magical silver bullet for performance. If you're running an incorrect mixture, unbalanced/leak

FWIW, there are several advantages to a properly installed and well-designed electronic ignition. Everything else that I can think of is smoke, mirrors and marketing hype. 1. elimination of point bo

I have received a number of questions/comments (off-line) and have seen some also posted to the list relating to electronic ignitions vs. points. I'm not "anti-electronic-ignition". I have several,
