Hi Randy,
Unless another Lister has found a cheaper vendor, be sure to get the
Pertronix from here:
http://www.vintageperformance.com/retrorockets/austin_healey.htm Not
only are they substantially cheaper than the usual suspects, free
shipping and handling is an added bonus.
I'm running mine with a Sport coil simply because I already had a
perfectly good one on the car.
