Hey guys,
I have a new (to me) Bugeye I am trying to sort out. It has a fairly stock
engine (except it uses HS2 vs HS1 SU carbs). Tuning is on the agenda - the
car came from Texas and doesn't seem to like the Maryland weather.
As I go about checking and tuning everything, the thought occurred to me
that I might as well replace the distributor with an electronic one before I
get everything tuned the way I want. This thought and Moss lead me to
consider replacing the ignition coil as well. I am thinking of a Mallory
Electronic Distributor and a Crane Ignition Coil.
Cost doesn't seem overwhelming and I am not fanatical (yet) about
originality.
Is there any prevailing wisdom out there regarding using a electronic
distributor and/or upgraded ignition? Brands? Combinations? Issues with
positive ground?
Thanks in advance, Mike
