Hello Paul,

me, as the vendor or one of the vendors who recommend the 'general'
123ignition for the MG models, cannot follow your arguments. Could you
please explain why the set of curves delivered with the 123ignition is
irrelevant with today's fuels and what makes your mechanical rebuilt
distributor suitable for these fuels?

Maybe I haven't got your point but what are the advantages of a mechanical
distributor over the electronic type?

Best regards

Not personally.  I think they are very expensive for a set of curves which 
are irrelevant with today's fuels, so much so that one vendor recommends for

the MGB the 'general' 123 rather than that specifically designed for the 
MGB.  I think that says it all.  I'd rather get a good mechanical rebuild. 
If I wanted electronics (which i don't) I'd fit an electronic trigger to 
that, and carry points and condenser as a spare.
