reinstall the stock 45DE4 distributor. This is the one with the
integral amplifier. If you have a good one perhaps we can arrange a
swap. Or, I'll sell the Mallory and buy the 45DE4 from someone.... >>

I don't believe that there are any 45DE4 dizzys left with the original
electronics still working. Mine had a Piranha ignition system when I bought
the car, and now it sports a Pertronix. Larry M. has a 25 model dizzy in his
'78 Midget, also with a Pertronix Ignitor.
I think it would be pretty chancy to try to use the original Lucas electronic
ignition. The parts would have dried out long ago (or exploded). (IMO, of
course.)
