I am over here one of the very few without electronic ignition in the Morgan. They say that idling is better and you don't have to fiddle with the points anymore. All the other bonuses (petrol consumption, acceleration et al) are IMHO purely theoretical. Freddy Kumschick, a buddy, was multiple european champion in classic F1's and he says the only thing electronic conversions to old engines bring for sure is troubles - he would never use one on an engine with carburetters. But he is a wizard in tuning. As one of the lesser humans I couldn't decide yet which way to go. Perhaps I will change to electronics when my current points ignition should fail. But most probably I will not spend as much as the 123 costs.
