[Fot] Best distributor/ignition for TR4

[Stutzmans]

I'm surprised to hear that some of the racers are using new Pertronix 
dizzys.  I think they are made in India; but for whatever reason I'm not 
impressed with their build quality as compared with the old Lucas 25D and 
45D dizzys.  When properly sorted out on a Sun machine 25Ds and 45Ds (Glen 
likes the 45D because of its big cap) give excellent service.
A very important issue for racers is cam lobe accuracy which is an easy test 
on a Sun machine.  I've almost always found Lucas 4 cylinder dizzys to be 
right on.  Not so much on the Lucas 22D6 (TR6 dizzy) though.
