Found an old Lucas centrifugal-only dizzy (Cooper S?
Not sure of part number, 23D or 25D?) from Paul
Dolloff of the list. Also had one previously on loan
from Frank Clarici. Nice improvement over vacuum
advance unit, much higher revving, seems to keep
advancing forever. I was using a Pertronix Ignitor
electronic ignition, but I switched back to points.
Points seemed more stable at high RPM, which is a
little counter-intuitive, but it was so.
