I just purchased a 1972 with a replacement 1.8L engine with L-Jetronic Fuel Injection. I want to change the OEM distributor to electronic ignition but don't know which would be best. I've been reading a lot on this site as well as Google and have come up with three (Mallory Unilite, Petronix SVDA and Hot Spark SVDA. Is there a consensus as to which is best? Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks in advance for your help. Keeping the L-jet then keep the L-jet dizzy, it's one of the best. Just stick a pertronix in it, or keep the points and get an MSD. Points will never burn out with a MSD. |
