bascically... smoother running - better idle, no adjustment (point gap), not affected by moisture...

cost varies depending on system used... there's the flame thrower, aldon, petronics, and recently found a cheap one from the uk..

I don't think there is any advantage for you Davo, your car should have it.
Most A+ units do.
:D

They stay in tune longer, and are more resistant to wet weather.

There are a few options here-
Lucas electronic
Nissan Pulsar (fit an A+ drive dog on)
Pertronix Flamethrower (see link below)

Or, fit a Pertronix ignitor to the dizzy you already have.

Davo, if you open up the dizzy and don't see any points inside, you've got an electronic dizzy. 8)

Davo if you're talking about your SPI mini.....it's electronic.
It's also different to a non-injection unit as well, it has even less stuff inside!

Thats the problem, where your ECU is thats where my A/C Radiator goes and it takes up a crap load of room at the front of the Dissy...

My ECU is where your A/C Radiatior is, so their opposite....

Make sence...???????
