Doesn't the Ignitor require the use of an externally ballasted coil ? 
In other words, it may not be compatible with your Lucas Sports coil.  

Make sure the reluctor gap is set properly and there is no excess side
movement of the shaft.  (Just like points, the dwell and timing of the
Ignitor is affected by the gap, although to a lesser degree.)  Also, you
need to reset the timing after installation.
