Definitely an improvement but a pig to set up in some cases. The benefits are limited to how well the mechanical advance mechanism works in your distributor unless you opt for a mapped system without a distributor.

Simplest option is an electronic ignition setup from a 1300 Uno (non-turbo). All you have to do is swap the X1/9 shaft over to the Uno distributor head (otherwise it is too long and wont fit in the engine bay) and bolt the whole thing in complete with wiring and module.

I wish I'd know about this when I did mine - I went for a lumenition optronic system (at relatively great expense). A very good setup all the same though so I shouldn't complain from that aspect.
 
Thanks again Jim

BTW, do you know if the clutch hose is the same size as the rear brake hose :confused:

I am trying to find a clutch hose as mine is looking worse for wear. I have a spare rear hose. It is a Goodridge in Orange, but don't want to try to swap them without knowing if it will fit.

Cheers

Kev
