Hi i am looking for a Electronic Ignition Kit  for my dolomite 1500 engine Which Electronic Ignition Kit  do I need please help
Thanks  :)

Your best bet is probably one of the nice and cheap land-rover ones.

Do a search in the archives and it should reveal the source.

If you still have the original dissy, then you need one for a 45D4

Will that 1st one be good for high revving #racing

Lumenition.

If you are thinking of even track days let alone racing your engine hates revs and has no power so perhaps a change of car would be better, sorry but true.

It's in a kit car

Ah well the skys the limit :) the 1500 is possibly Triumphs worst engine sadly.
The 1300 can be made into a screamer (cost££££ though).
Why not put an MX5 lump in.

If you must have this engine I put Lumenition on my Stag and it transformed it because the Stag would only do 1500 miles before the points (single!) started to fail.

I'm wanting to put a mx5 engine in but need the driver gear #driveshaft

Jon, you are right in that the 1500 lump doesn't like to rev "out of the box". If the engine is balanced it will run better. There's a guy on the TDC forum (some of you will know who I mean) who can work his magic on these engines.

Getting back on topic, I'd definitely second the budget system. I fitted one on a Sprint dizzy on my 1850 and I haven't had to touch it since aside from small adjustments of the timing. Worth every penny.

Ok I admit that its possible to "improve a 1500" and as I am an engineer I find modifications easy if time consuming.

Mik Davies gets his race Spitfire 1500 reving well enough.  When I was chatting to him once, discussing his engine and how well it revs, I was convinced he must be talking about a small crank 1300 but, no, it is a well engineered 1500.  I forget exactly what his redline is set at, but it is in racing 1300 territory with good power right up to the limit.
