The Lucas one is a far better build... however you will loose your mech
tacho! So you'll have to put a yuckky electronic 1500 gauge in.
My AC Delco dizzy was giving me extreme points scatter - so I swapped it
out...
So thats what Ive done - been quoted 80 quid to convert a Jaeger mech
gauge over to electronic.
Have you considered getting an electronic ignition kit? Perhaps thats a
better route - the ones from Aldon are hidden under the dizzy cap - so
it would still look totally original... and its about 80 quid... a
better solution perhaps?
