whats the best electronic ignition kit
any one had good or bad

[lambrettalad]

ACCUSPARK FAB I bought the whole dizzy

[aupickup]

ta
i have heard of simonbcc is that the same

[simmitc]

A-series spares seem to be building a good reputation for their complete dizzy - they have stopped doing the conversion kit.

I had a couple of Lumenition kits on the Travellers. One has been going for years with no trouble, one packed up shortly after the warranty expired. In general, electronic "should" be more reliable than the modern points etc (give me NOS any day) but does seem more sensitive to having the correct coil and generally good electrics.

Simonbbc is the same

ta guys
just trying to keep maintenance to a minimum
also down to my last set of points and condenser nos

[dalebrignall]

ive got accuspark had no probs with them

[Biggles1957]

I have accuspark on a land rover and on my moggies - no problem at all - brilliant!

[aupickup]

WELL THAT DOES IT THEN
ok i hav 1098 engine should i get the 25d or the 45d

[bmcecosse]

Just use your nos points and condenser - will be good for at least another 10 years or so! If you must though, the 45D is the later/improved design dizzy...

[Biggles1957]

Agreed. 45D I'm told has a better curve - better suited to modern petrol or something. My traveller certainly runs very well indeed with it

[aupickup]

accuspark has17.5% sale at the moment soa 25d is£49.95 complete dizzy
seems a good deal
i ask him about 25d against the 45d andhe said no difference in performance
so will order one today

[bmcecosse]

So - you really think Lucas did all the development work on the 45D - just for fun? It is the better dizzy........

[aupickup]

no i did not say that
if you read the post properly i said he said it

[bmcecosse]

I did read it properly - I am suggesting you should not believe him......the 45D IS the later/better design. Strictly of course - he is correct - there will be no improvement in performance with either of these dizzies - points ignition performance is not a limiting factor in a standard Minor engine........

[aupickup]

45d then

[bmcecosse]

Lots of others in recent threads seem happy with the 45D too -wise choice.

[ampwhu]

tried the 45D from accuspark and never got the thing running. car wouldn't even fire.

purchased the module from same supplier and the car burst into life and I've had no problem since.

dizzy must have been a bad one
