I had the conversion kit, but the distributor itself was wobbly.  Ran that 
for about 2 years before replacing the whole distributor.  Conversion kit is 
about $100, complete new distributor is $150.
Only thing is the new distributor doesn't have the mechanical tach cable.

Spitted ones,

After chasing an intermittent miss, I am considering buying a Pertronix.
Before I buy one, I have some questions.

1. Anyone used one on their Spit? My experience with one on the Stag wasn't
good.

2. I have an early MK IV 1300 engine, with no advance/retard, anyone know 
which
is the correct unit for this engine? Not sure which distributor I have.

Thanks,

Doug
