Basically, all these things do is replace the points. But ain't that enough?
:-)
I put one on our TR4 (positive ground model). I had to do a tiny bit of filing
on one mounting hole to fit it. I checked the timing before and after. It
didn't change a bit.
I replaced the old coil with their coil. Pay attention to the coil that you
are supposed to use with each ignition model. I did not use a ballast resister.
The car runs better. Sometimes on the points I had had some missing.
It has been dead reliable, but I keep a set of points in the glove box.
