[BJ8Healeys]

Hi, Paul -
I installed a Mallory Dual-Point in my BJ8 in 1992.  Since then, I have had
zero problems with it and have only changed points once in 76,500 miles and
that only to prepare for a cross-country drive.  Obviously, I have also not
had any problems with aftermarket Lucas rotors.  The engine is stock.

I am looking into changing to a more modern distributor for my Healey which
is significantly modified and will likely be raced.

 

My choices are Mallory 2 point, Mallory electronic and 123 ignition.

 

The Moss book implies that the Mallory 2 point are particularly good for
Webers (though I can't understand why that would be)

 

I would be interested in feedback from the group, particularly from those
with modified engines.

 

Thanks

Paul
