Electronic ignitions

I thought I would post a positive story on after market electronic ignitions.

I owned both a 79 MG Midget & a 78 MGB which were used by my kids as 
their transport.  Both were used & came with the cursed OEM Lucas 
electronic ignition that failed regularly & often.  In both cases I 
replaced the Lucas system with Crane (and its precursor) electronic 
ignitions and both cars started to have the reliability 
characteristics of my wife's Hondas.

I always mounted the control unit in an area that got a lot of fresh 
air to keep them as cool as I could in Florida.  When I sold each car 
they were still strong & reliable.

My current TR3 came with a Crane system with the control box mounted 
high on the firewall.  When I replace the radiator this winter, I 
plan on moving it forward to get a little more cooling air.
