Re: [Healeys] Points vs electronic ignition

[Bob Spidell <bspidell@comcast.net>]

Pertronix makes modules for both. The 6-cyl module requires a 'collar' with 
magnets that sits under the rotor (sometimes causing problems with some 
rotor/cap combinations). The 4-cyl module does not require the collar; 
apparently, it senses the movement of the cam lobes (the 4-cyl distributor is 
smaller than the 6-cyl and I don't think there's room for the collar anyway).

Interesting question. In my 100 I still have points and have learnt how to 
set the ignition - it's not too hard. 

With the electronic ignition: Is there a difference if you have a 4- or a 
6-cylinder car?
