Morris Minor Owners Club

Thinking of doing away with dizzy' and fitting electronic ignition set-up. I know that this will have had many discussions about it in the past, but being a relative newbie' to the forum I would like to hear of any opinions ( especially from members who have switched over ). My brother in law fitted an electronic ignition to his 1980 Maxi and swears by them.

You have to keep the dizzy, just replace the points with unit, best thing I ever did

Megajolt is what you want - if doing away with the dizzy. Mini lads swear by it - you can set up a complete map of the ignition timing to optimise everything. It;s a bit of work -and you need to be handy with a soldering iron. Do a write-up on it for us and tell us how it goes!

i have accuspark very good

But as noted in the duplicate thread - it doesn't "do away with the dizzy"......

Swears by the electronic ignition or swears at the Austin Maxi?

Correct Mike - swears BY the elec. ignitionbut swears AT the Austin Maxi !!!

Best passion wagon ever built, it has a double bed which folds up into seats if you ever have the misfortune to have to drive it.

The Maxi was a fine machine! Never owned one - but have had several long comfortable journeys in them.
