PerTronix Ignitor electronic ignition for MG

From the PerTronix website

"PerTronix has announced the availability of Ignitor Electronic Ignition kits for many older Lucas distributors, adding to their extensive line of applications which easily convert point-triggered distributors to breakerless electronic ignition.

The Ignitor module replaces the stock points and condenser and fits entirely under the distributor cap, retaining the original appearance of the engine compartment and "offering all the advantages of electronic ignition systems costing hundreds of dollars more”, according to PerTronix.

The unit installs as quick as a set of points, needs no maintenance, and is a simple, cost effective way to improve performance while increasing economy and dependability.

Ignitor kit #LU-142A retrofits pre-1974 Austin Minis and Sprites, MG Midgets, MGAs, MGBs and Triumph TR3s and TR4s. Kit #LU-143 converts point-type MGB distributors of 1974 and later, while kit #LU-162A handles '65-'71 Jaguar, '68-76 Triumph and Austin Healey 3000.

Ignitor kits are also available for many Lucas electronic ignition systems (#LU-141), which replaces the distributor's triggering mechanism and bypass the "black box".

Coils

"While it's the perfect coil to go with the PerTronix Ignitor breakerless ignition, our new 40,000 volt Flame-Thrower can benefit virtually any distributor type induction system. For one thing, the higher voltage allows larger spark plug gaps for added power, smoother response and better fuel economy.

Choose from chrome or OEM black, they're oil filled for better cooling and voltage insulation; or get the epoxy version of the Flame-Thrower when extreme vibration is a factor.

• Enables larger plug gaps for greater fuel efficiency, more power
• Delivers an average of 15% more spark energy and voltage
