Subject: spitfire running on
I have a friend with a spitfire which runs after the ignition has been
turned off. It has a new switch. Only way to stop it is to remove the
wire to the coil. It runs like normal not just brief run on. Any ideas
before I head over and try to diagnose it. They know a lot about LBCs
but this one has them stumped and they asked me as I know a lot about
electrics.

Alan, he doesn't happen to have an after-market electronic ignition
installed, does he. If so, he may have to put a diode in the ignition
lamp circuit. Some capacitive discharge ignition systems will get
enough power coming through that circuit to continue to fire the
electronics without the key being on.
