Reply To: Electronic Ignition Options

Thanks for this Paul.

I think that on balance I will give the 123 a miss for the moment. It is an expensive solution and I have heard a number of horror stories about dealings with the manufacturer, who, it seems will never admit the possibility of his product ever developing a fault, can be quite hostile and appears to have no concern about his wider reputation within what is a close knit car community.

I do have a 123 in my 2CV, but also carry the points box around and if the 123 proved unreliable would unhesitatingly return to traditional ignition. If I did go electronic, it would probably be via the Accuspark module type route, but I will give the current setup another chance and consider a refurbished standard dizzy.
