Friends,
maybe the attitude towards motoring is different in Europe, but as soon as I
read the numerous threads about Lucas rotors and distributors I decided to
install a 123 Electronic ignition. Fully electronic, no extra parts under
the bonnet/hood, and both cap and rotor are of Bosch manufacture - in fact
they are standard Bosch items with their part numbers shown in the 123
instruction manual.
(And the same goes for the fuel pump - I use a Pierburg rotating vane type
pump and neither ignition nor fuel supply have ever let me down).
I go for reliable motoring and have given up the idea that everything on
the car has to be original.
Diagonal tires, anyone?

original wheel nuts with two projecting arms - and that's considered to be
unsafe to bicyclists and pedestrians. Have to borrow octagonal nuts for the
retest. What a country!)
