Frank,
I'm surprised that all you have encountered is better starting using the CD I built. Certainly if your car was already in good tune and with a Morgan being so light, the other attributes of the CD may be less pronounced. I'll bet it has made a difference in fuel consumption and acceleration but the results may be more subtle with a light car. On my 56 Plus 4, the difference is quite noticeable as is the improvement in mileage which is better than 5%. If you are running with a plug gap of 25 thou like some folks run, I would suggest opening it up to 35 thou. With a better spark you have a bit more latitude with your fuel/air mixture and you can generally run a little leaner. Fred

No, I'm a different Winterburn. I had the privilege of having lunch with Richard Winterburn about two years before he passed away. He was quite a man. His family came to Canada about 40 years after mine, and were from the same part of England, but if there is a family relation, it is distant. Fred Winterburn

I asked them to diagnose my parts, and send a second generation unit as a replacement.

Do you happen to remember who the gentleman is who makes the Winterburn CDI? I remember Richard Winterburn as a long time Morgan owner but believe he passed away a few years ago.
