I've put a crane electronic ignition in my 72 MGB/GT. It required that I leave
both my centrifugal weights, and the vaccuume advance. However, they do have a
unit which can compensate for these. So, it depends upon the type of
electronic ignition you are putting in. I don't know specifically about the
Luminition.
