V8 ignition problems

[No 1]

I've got an old Landy with a 3.5V8, twin Stromberg carbs and mechanical ignition. I am having terrible problems with burning out condensors and points and having been running badly for a few thousand miles, it has now given up completely.

I'm thinking of putting a Lumenition conversion kit on it, any comments, good or bad?

Also, does anyone know what the correct timing/dwell angles are. I think it's an old Range Rover engine, 8.13:1CR.

Hope to get some good feedback so thanks all in advance
