colmiller Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Driving home yesterday I had my engine in my normally reliable TC2500 die completely. I've got fuel so logic says it must be spark.After swapping points & coil to no avail I'm currently waiting for a tow truck to pick it up and bring it home. Always assuming its still there of course.I had my fill of points ignition systems 50 years ago and don't want to relive the past. So I thought I would ask what others had installed in the way of electronic ignition systems.Any advice gratefully received.Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny-Jimbo Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 There is a thread about 'worthwhile upgrades' - most of which is discussing the many drawbacks and few positives of electronic ignition. Obviously everyone is entitled to their own choice on their cars, but I'd recommend reading that thread before making decisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
south sea pommie in aussie Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Have to agree with pertronix very reliable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Pertonix (or aldon, who put their sticker over the pertronix name!) also had good experiences with a luminition unit that looks the same as pertonix.Zero maintenance on points in over 20 years now. What a relief, and never carry spares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
