I have a '79 Spit and am slowly doing little things to try to boost
performance.  I've seen a recent post by a lister who did kind of an
electrical tune up.  My question is what should I replace/upgrade since I
know nothing has been done in a long time on the car:  plugs, ignition
wires, coil, and "stuff" in the distributor (this is where I'm really
fuzzy)??

How about electronic ignition?  In the recent issue of Spitfire Magazine
there was a recommendation to upgrade to electronic ignition.  When I look
at the car's specs in the Haynes manual it looks to me like it says I
already have "pointless electronic ignition" or something like that (I don't
have the manual in front of me).  Would getting one of those Crane
electronic ignition kits be an upgrade or something different from what's in
the car now.

Thanks for any insights for this electrical system challenged Spitster.
