Wot and miss all that fun changing the points each year :D:D:D:D:D:D

got the same type of thing on the V8 best upgrade ever vs the small cost 😉

If it ain't broken don't try to fix it as if you do it will definitely break

Hi Rockdelta10

I fitted a 123 system which I purchased from the owners club. This has been very reliable, was easy to install and it has cut out the overrunning.

I took the car for a rolling road tune and the company said that the 123 is a good set up. They are not cheap but possibly the best option.

P.S. Are you going to Abingdon?

The advantage of the 123ignition is also that the complete distributor is replaced.
Given the fact that most cars have driven a 100,000 miles in the meanwhile since they were new there might be some axle-play in the distribution itself.
