Lumenition Magnetronic

Although a fixed advance in that it simply relies on the existing advance mechanisms within the original distributor unit, it is favoured for its original look under the bonnet and its relatively low cost.  However, any wear within the advance systems will not be corrected so in theory, this upgrade really works best with a reconditioned distributor.

From Lumenition's Webpage:

"Sometimes, small is beautiful.

That’s why Lumenition perfected the tiny Magnetronic Ignition Module. Measuring only an inch, the whole system is easily fitted INSIDE the distributor. Using the Hall Effect, it’s a sure fire way to simply improve on the old points and contacts while maintaining an untouched look in the engine bay. Inportant for those Classic Car purists who don’t want to break down in the middle of nowhere on a rainy afternoon. Available for a wide range of vehicles. Check our application page.

FEATURES: 

- Replaces contact breakers and condenser.

- Reduces ignition maintenance.

- Simple to install.

- Completely self contained within the distributor.

- Note: Negative earth only."
