A video on how I installed an electronic ignition conversion kit for my 1962 Morris Minor 1000 NZ CKD Assembled. Converted the old existing points and condenser distributor (Lucas 25D4) ignition system to a solid state electronic replacement. This will mask the issues caused by a worn distributor which I have, there is a bit of runout on the cam lobe shaft which could affect the timing of the motor a bit as it's not so precise anymore. Onto of that my dizzy is very loud. You can head the points opening and closing, sometimes can be a bit hard to start when cold and idles a bit rough.
A electronic ignition kit completely solved those issues, stays running now no more rough idle when cold. Starts easy. I used a power spark ignition kit from Hankswood Classic Car Parts in Auckland. Was $90 plus shipping. Well worth it. I had to set the timing again afterwards.
Also did a speedo cable install as the old one had failed, that was a straightforward procedure. Feel free to use this video as a guide, I've just done what worked for me, I've never installed one prior to this. Make sure you read your installation instructions carefully.

Certainly a big difference noise wise plus it sounds a lot smoother. Job well done!

Cheers! I have just noticed the vacuum advance wasn't working. Don't know how long it's been out, Should be a lot livelier after that gets sorted on top of the electronic ignition.

Best of luck! Join the Auckland Morrie club if you aren’t already part of it. Have heard the Rotorua and Auckland club may do a joint event sometime and will definitely be in Tauranga for the convention in October.

Hi Colin, thanks for watching. You won't regret doing the conversion, it idles and runs so much nicer. While you're inside, make sure you check your vacuum advance is working correctly too if your minor is old, just suck on the end of the diaphragm and make sure the plate inside rotates. My one wasn't working, made HUGE difference when I put a working one in! Ha! Cheers

@@KingTriangleCat Thanks again Rocky, I've just ordered my ' colourtune ' kit. I've only had the car a couple of weeks and it went straight to the garage for some welding. I should have it back next week and I look forward to driving it.
