English ignitions and wiring were dreadful.
I completely stripped my Austin Healey A100 of every wire -thats every one-and re wired the whole car. I got a 55 gallon drum chock full of wires out of that car!
Being a card carrying old fart, I do like good reliable stuff -over quirky tech stuff.
However, as an example,The new ignitions I get from Falkon - is just too good to ignore - easy start very smooth running .
The new generation of this stuff is sooo much better -in my opinion- than the old mag stuff -
I would not ven consider using the old mag ignitions.
if smoothness and ease of starting counts -
I am very familiar with the G62 -on mag ignition - it isn't bad - but power to weight and smoothness comparison -leaves it in the also ran bin anymore.
