I have a 1980 MGB in the shop with the original OPUS electronic ignition. When the car is warm and it gets on an incline, it suddenly quits - no coughing, sputtering, anything. It then fires up after

Don, Good point, but the fact that it cuts out instantly and the fact that if it's jacked up at the front, the fuel pump is still pumping just fine. Loose wires are "plumb bobs" they very much care a

I can't think of the name, but the late cars have an "impact switch" that shuts the car off if it gets too big a jolt, I think it is supposed to stop the fuel pump in case of an accident, now I remem

My only experience is with Spitfires, but it's my understanding that the late OPUS ignition with the remote control box is nothing but GM ignition module in a black box with Lucas written on it. I th
