Hi all,
Does anyone have any good/bad experiences with converting to electronic ignition? I have been toying with the idea of fitting a Pertronix kit to my Special, but I have read some bad reports - can anyone enlighten me?
Many thanks

Forget the Pertronix - get a Crane XR-i points conversion kit. I have run this in my last two cars, and love it. Never had a problem.
