I agree with Frank, I am running an Auto Spark harness (also sold by BW)
with no problems four years in. Have a friend with a 1970 E-Type, probably
stock or original harness, no problems reported from him over ten years.

personally i have no problems with the original wiring of LBC's.
put in a new
harness from British wire.
be sure the bullet connectors are good and that ground wires are properly
grounded.
if you want added peace of mind shrink
tape over the bullet connectors
use the electric grease because of where you are.
that the old lucas electric was bad was more myth than fact. it was about
non maintenance.

My daughter is thinking about an
E-type Jag (hopefully she will let her dad drive it once in a while).
I told
her my biggest concern would be the "classic" british wiring problems.
I was
wondering if any one knows of Dan Masters like modern wiring redo for the
e-Type?? The one I put in my TR-3A has made it as reliable as my wife's
Honda.
Thanks
John
