Re: Electronic ignition question.

The other thing that occurs to me, is that the spark current return is the engine block and thus to the coil body and is that not common with the negative terminal. Not something I've thought too deeply about before. Most transformers have four wires but having the earths as common is not unreasonab...

Re: Electronic ignition question.

Interesting, I hear what your saying, about vibration and all, don't want things vibrating loose, however my feeling would be that as the plugs and distributer are on the engine and moving, it would seem sensible to have the coil moving with them rather then not moving with them on the inner wing. I...

Re: Electronic ignition question.

Oh And this picture of my first Morris traveller LBV303G outside a well known Manchester drinking house which sadly is no more, only came to light last year. I had no idea that my old car had become immortalised outside the public house with the knickers on the ceiling, and the slogan "fly unit...

Re: Electronic ignition question.

Well It's fitted and working nicely, My local Morris Minor specialists (Martin and Paul) did me a full service, new plugs and reset the points last fortnight and at the moment, all I can say is that starting is excellent, but then I've a new battery and the car is garaged, so only to be expected. I'...

Re: Electronic ignition question.

So how often would you recommend they be replaced or is it just a timing adjustment required?

Re: Electronic ignition question.

The other advantage of course, is not having to replace or reset the points gap every so often, the current the points have to switch with the electronics in place is a fraction of the Amps that are required without, so wear on the points is reduced to next to nought. And as you say with the inverte...

Re: Electronic ignition question.

Hello all Moggy lovers. I am about to fit one of these to my 1967 4 door, I bought it some 20 years back intending to fit it to what ever I was driving at the time and never got round to it. And could not fit it to the Morris until now because the item and it's paper work got separated in the piles ...
