Though I have several spits, my experience with the electronic ignition was with my MGB. I recently put an electronic ignition system on my daily driver MGB.
I purchase the Moss Petronix unit (with the distributor) and a matched coil from Ed at Just Brits. I'm thinking it was around ~$220 or so. I cannot be happier. The car runs much much better and the mileage increased nearly 30% It was a very simple change (took all of 15 minutes) and I could not be happier. Now I am not sure which of the items caused all the improvements (electronic ignition, distributor, or coil) or if it was combination of all three. It has made the car a joy to drive again. I cc'd Ed on this email so you can have his email address if you have questions for him. Good Luck!

Spitbit sell Crane at $149.50. The last one seems to be less expensive. But I do not know the difference between them. But still I am wandering if it worth it to buy, I mean return benefit on better running an engine. Paul-Ernest Your messages not reaching the list?
