Though I have several spits, my experience with the electronic ignition was
with my MGB. I recently put an electronic ignition system on my daily
driver MGB.
I purchase the Moss Petronix unit (with the distributor) and a matched coil
from Ed at Just Brits. I'm thinking it was around ~$220 or so. I cannot be
happier. The car runs much much better and the mileage increased nearly 30%
It was a very simple change (took all of 15 minutes) and I could not be
happier.
Now I am not sure which of the items caused all the improvements (electronic
ignition, distributor, or coil) or if it was combination of all three. It
has made the car a joy to drive again.
I cc'd Ed on this email so you can have his email address if you have
questions for him.
Good Luck!
Bill

Can someone comment on the value of installing an Electronic Ignition
System, and also where to buy one I see at Victoria British one is a Crane
Cams XR3000 for $189.95 and Ingnitor Delco at $109.95. Spitbit sell Crane at
$149.50. The last one seems to be less expensive. But I do not know the
difference between them.
But still I am wandering if it worth it to buy, I mean return benefit on
better running an engine.
