I had a similar problem in my A40 (1275) But having never driven the A40
before restoring it and using the petronix from day one, I never knew
any different. When it died and I dropped in a points dizzy, the car was
much "peppier" not that it's a rocket but at least it keeps up with
modern traffic. Any more advance on the A40 and it was over advanced,
not so with the points. I never did figure out why.
I also put one in my Sprite and had to re-time it from points to
petronix. The unit sits a bit differently than points do which relocates
the timing a little.
Just as different brands of points affect timing in the same car.
