Great video, great explanation. My concern is today most if not all electronic ignitions are made in China. Being in the classic car scene, most here in Malaysia still use the points system as they've heard horror stories of electronics failing in the middle of nowhere and has happened too many times compared to those with points. If the points shut for whatever reason, you only have to open them up and you're ready to go. If the electronic shuts, you'll be calling the tow truck. So best bet is always carry a spare electronic module like what we do here if you really need to go electronic Ignition.

Hey I love your videos and they really help me with my mini. If ever you get the chance, doing a video on carb identification and maybe tuning would be great! Keep up the good work!

Excellent video, short & sweet with excellent verbal and visual explanations. I’m sold, thank you:))

I'm running an MSD #9950 Ignition Kit in my Mini. Runs like a dream.

Thank you so much. I'm gonna try on a 95 Prelude

And don't forget to check wether you have a balasted or non balasted Ignition system and adapt your Wiring acordingly. Cheers

Could you do an instal video on this?

I’d recommend one of these on any classic. Timing needs to be adjusted the garage told me when they fitted it. I’ve heard Acuspark might not be the best quality and I may be having issues with mine but also could be anything else with these old cars 😢

Every points ignition I've had I've replaced with electronic....be it in a mini, early mustang or my early falcon wagon. One of the best bang for buck reliability modifications anyone can do.

I purchased one kit, do you need to change the coil also? What is the difference between ballast and non-ballast coils?

Is it worth to buy 123 Ignition or 59D with electronic Module is fine for a little prepared mini ? Thanks guys

Funny you release this vid today, I just had to swap an electronic dizzy into my mini as the points dizzy died

Install video next!! Also can you hook up a vacuum gage. Suck a vacuum and record it on the vid. Mine looks like it has little advance. Would like to see it for comparison. I have a 1980 998. Not sure which distributes I have yet.

An honest look at electronic ignitions. They do not in fact enable an engine to make more power or get better gas mileage. Their downside is that when they fail, they tend to fail abruptly and completely. Point ignitions can usually get you home if you fiddle with them. Come to think of it, electronic fuel injection has much the same up- and downside as its ignition counterparts.

Question About the distributor, Is it possible that the cam in it isnt straight anymore? Cilinder 1 is misfiring everytime, when i take the cap off, the contact point is a bit damaged, so my guess is that the rotor hits the cap and is the problem of misfiring. Greetings from The Netherlands, your video’s are vers helpfull and entertaining !

Can you do a video about 'how to check & solve wiper shampoo line ' please .. (Rover mini 1998-auto)

please help my problems my SPI mini's problem are: 1st. sometimes it jerked forward when decelerate at any gear or any speed. 2nd. engine nearly stalls when shift down gears or step down clutch

Hi guys, your videos are perfect, keep it up. Can you make a video tutorial on how to replace the classic headlights by your owns please with full connections please.

great discription but its an electronic distributor not electronic ignition conversion kit, people may get confused. Loving your videos. Can you run the black wire to earth in the distributor so you only have one wire coming out of the distributor so it looks stock??

Do you need to reset the timing once you change over ...

A magneto is my preferred.

Is there any way of making my 1991mini run without chocke?

Great video! I however have a query if swapping to electronica would cause my RPM meter to report 0RPM all time?

Thank you..

I'm going to fit a version of this to my classoc Land Rover.

Mine never did work and it was installed correct with correct coil and wires to proper terminals

No more burnt points leaving you at make out point

I have points in my 71 rt charger, change them once a year, no problems.

Does it mount in a suzuki maruti yr95?

Does this stealth kit fit a Ford Capri 3.0 Ghia Automatic 1978 ?

thanks a lot for this assume the rotor arm doesn't need to be replaced as its no longer doing anything, also are there any reasons you wouldn't do this? Thanks

Are they any good for kombis vw

What ignition coil do you prefer? Is there something specific to look for? TIA

My solid state system just died. Took ages to check it. At least with points you can see what is wrong

A hotter coil wouldn't give you more spark?

do you need resistive plugs with this kit?

I have a 1969 Buick Skylark 350 motor points setup. Can I replace my points with this?

I have a 1953 V8 will it work on there

hei...can dat work on my 1982 corolla which uses a 2T engine????um reli getting tired of replacing points time to time

This might be a silly question, besides reliability are there any power gains by switching to electronic ignition?

Duuuude, pls help me! My mini sprite 1000cc when in idle the rev starts to get unstable floating crazy up down, but the engine doesn’t stalls. And only start to happens after driving around 20 min. When this happens I release the advanced timing vacuum line and it’s runs idle normally with a bit revs pitching up. When I put the vacuum line back then the revs lowers down and begins unstable again. Any clue!

How do you set it up after installing it? It must have a first setting right?

Im in my third electronic ignition and I am thinking about going back to points. The money I've spent does not make up for the ease of maintenance.

Yo whats up. If possible, can you please tell me how to identify a mini's year model, if possible, using the VIN or characteristics around the mini. Good Show guys. Peace out (ZA)

Do you recommend adding extra engine steadies for a 1380 supercharged engine?

Points are okay, electronics just take away the necessary maintenance needed for points but with electronics if not setup, right and safely is disastrous

This is a no brainer. Why ? Alot of classic owners want to get in their car and drive. A lot of classic car owners are not mechanically inclined , no matter how nice their garage and tool box are! Electronic ignitions verses points..is the points can work loose and or just corrode and lose their effeciency to create a SPARK. Another factor is they make a physical contact from the points to the spinning distributor shaft , which over time makes the point gap inconsistent , causing the fuel air carb mixture to not burn completely , or at all....a lose of power over the power band , hard starting or even flooding out the car .... Not fear porn, just a fact of parts wearing out in normal use. Changing over DOES NOT. hurt the value of your classic ,as it can easily. be returned to troublesome points at anytime. Electronic componenets replacing points in Distributors and fuel pumps ,is a bullet proof up grade with modern electronic components. THIS IS WHY " YOU THINK" YOUR EVERYDAY CAR IS MORE RELIABLE THAN YOUR FUN CLASSIC...it uses these components already !

Mr great idea thats works Ford a Ford Mustang ,6 cyl or Ford a Ford online truck ,240 ,6 cyl or You coul give us a link that works Ford 6 cyl in línea thanks ,Jorge ,suscribe.

Yes. I just saved you a walk.

short answer, Yes, Always, Just dont buy shitty ebay ones, power spark were rubbish on my mini, accuspark was great, No issues in the rain anymore, and much better starting too

EMP STRIKE > electronic

Points are garbage. Period. Electric ignition all the way.
