Since Joe brought back the subject of Dizzy's. Is there a decent economical
dizzy to replace the stock distributor on a spitfire other than the Mallory
dual point? Any other options, like buying an aftermarket, electronic (no
point) distributor.
(The mallory is a pretty unit, but then you wind-up spending another $100+
turning it into an electronic ignition.)
