> how do you know that your rev counter is accurate? I assume it's an electric type rather than mechanical on a late Spitfire - this should be more believable (the mechanical ones suffer the same problems as speedos)<
The competition preparation manual, page 20, regarding ignition systems; As the later US version of the Spitfire 1500 is fitted with Lucas electronic ignition designed to meet emission requirements, for racing purposes it will be necessary to change the distributor. Use distributor, Part #313232, which is a points type distributor with the added advantage of a mechanical tachometer drive. This enables you to use a mechanical tachometer which has proven over the long run to be more reliable than its electronic counterparts.
