[Healeys] Which electronic ignition?

[Oudesluys]

Lumenition Optronic is the one with the external box, the Lumenition 
Magnetronic or Magtronic, not sure, is similar to the Petronics and 
Ignitor. It depends how cheap the Ignitor is but you can always give it 
a try if cheap enough. If it fails, to bad, you should have spend more 
on a Petronics. If it keeps alive, congratulations. The Lumenition 
Magtronic may not always reliable as I have heard of many failures, 
however these are possibly due to incorrect fitting.
Make sure that the overal resistance over the terminals is 3 Ohms or 
higher unless stated otherwise. Many coils with resistor (wire) are 1,5 
Ohms and the resistor (wire) also 1,5 Ohms. In these cases fit the 
electr. ignition over coil and resistor wire and disconnect the short 
from the starter solenoid. If there is a coil only it may be 3 Ohms and 
you can connect the electr. ignition directly over the coil.
