I believ WeRace in Or sells them for Midgets (so maybe Spitfires as well).
When I looked into this I found that they were expensive ($800). I haven't
looked recently so the price may have changed.
>From what I remember they is is a sensor on the crank pulley, and the
pickup attaches to the timing cover, although I have see others where
the sensor & pickup are attached to the flywheel.
Of all the Midgets I have seen run at National SCCA level, they all
had crankfire ignition systems. The neat thing about them, is that
on the "black" box there are 3 or 4 adjustment screws, for changing the
timing, amount of advance, etc.
