electronic ignition

No doubt this has been aired before, but what are the current suggestions for EI conversions for the x-flow 1600 ?

Non-vac distributor.

Looking forward to your replies.

Thanks for all your advice. POWERSPARK c/w coil ordered

[mosstrooper]

Powerspark fitted . Had some difficulty starting but after I advanced the ignition by quite a few degrees all seems well.

My car was fitted with an old porcelain ballast resistor. The old feed to the resistor is now the positive ignition feed to the coil. The resistor is now, of course, redundant.

However, there is/was another wire leading out of the resistor which disappears into the loom and I just cannot find where it goes.

Any ideas ??

Thanks. Strobe used and all appears OK but haven't taken it on the road yet.

Any thoughts on the wire from the ballast resistor ?

[mosstrooper]

I thought that but there's no 'spare' wire at the solenoid.

If there were, would it matter if it was no longer connected ??
