[Healeys] Which electronic ignition?

[Alan Seigrist]

Derek - unless you're a tune freak or a racer, just get the Pertonix Ignitor
module.  It is very reliable, cheap, and made in a way you can switch back to
points in a pinch if you fry the module for some reason  while on the road.

Getting a new EI dizzy like the 123 or Pertonix Flamethrower is great, but
risky if it fries on the road which it is known to happen especially with the
123s.  Then you'd have to carry a spare dizzy (like I do in my A90).

Lumenition requires some mounting of bits outside of the dizzy... So not
really ideal when you start drilling holes in you engine bay.

The Ignitor is pretty much plug and play, and you can switch back to points on
the road in 10 min if you have to.
