Re: Re: Electronic Ignition

When I got my car it had a ‘Powernition’ distributor fitted. That ran well until it simply ‘died’ electronically and I couldn’t find anyone to repair it, so replaced it with a “123” unit as I didn’t have an original distributor to put back in.

With a ‘breakerless’ kit, if the electronics failed it’s a simple job to swap the old points and condenser back in, but you will still have a distributor with some wear in it so is unlikely to be 100% perfect unlike a new electronic distributor.

Electronic ignition is undoubtedly better, which way to go though, breakerless kit or replacement distributor, that’s one of those questions everyone will have a different opinion on.
