Stephen,
I have been running that exact same combination for 4 or 5 years with no
problems in my TR3. It works fine, and I don't know why they would advise
against it. Of course, the sport coil puts out a higher voltage, (40kv I
think?) but that just makes it easier for the spark to arc from the rotor to
the correct plug connection. When using the sport coil you should widen
your spark plug gaps to about 0.035 or 0.040.

Subject: Sports Coil and Electronic Ignition
Reading my recently arrived TRF catalogue, I saw the Lucas Sports Coil on
sale, with the caution that it should not be used with an electronc
ignition. I have the Crane XR700 electronic ignition which I was planning on
installing, plus a hotter coil. Any wisom on the list on whether the Lucas
Sports Coil should or should not be used with the Crane (or any other)
electronic ignition?
Stephen
