DITTO! I have a Crane Cams XR-700 ignition installed in my '68 Plus 4
and it works very well. There was a little bit of tailoring needed on
the bracket so the optical head would clear the aperture plate but
otherwise - SLICK!
I too have a distributor shaft bushing that is loose enough to drive a
Mini through so setting conventional points was a nightmare (I KNOW I
need to re-bush but time and money aren't always in the same place at
the same time).
I acquired my kit from Moss Motors a little over 2 years ago.
