upgrade - what an improvement
After
being dogged by continued misfiring after fitting what turned out to be a very
poor quality replacement rotor arm in 2010, the complete replacement of the distributor
with a new unit with a Pertonix electronic ignition system supplied by the Distributor
Doctor has brought a welcome relief with a wonderful improvement! (Victor Smith)
The old distributor is going down to the Doctor for a forensic examination
to find out what was wrong with it. Report later.

 | What
a pleasure driving the V8 is now - it pulls smoothly and confidently from low
revs and runs crisply with a zest on the road. Fitting a Petronix Ignitor to an
MGBGTV8 distributor has got rid of an irritating misfire - a real transformation
and a smooth V8 engine, just as it should be! |
For
over thirty years, the Pertronix Ignitor has proven itself in applications ranging
from race cars to tractors. The Ignitor replaces the contact breakers or points
and other troublesome factory electronic ignitions with a dependable, self contained
and maintenance free electronic ignition system. The Ignitor has been called the
"stealth" ignition system because of its quick installation and nearly
undetectable presence under your distributor cap. See
our longer report
You can get the Pertronix electronic ignition upgrade
from Petronix in the USA or from the Distributor Doctor in the UK who is a source
of the Ignitors as an official direct Factor who keeps large stocks.

Martin Jay, the Distributor Doctor, says "LU181A is the new kit -
Pertronix have re-designed it and it now comes with its own basepate, so the old
one can be removed complete." As the Doctor is an official Pertronix Dealer
he can usually better most other UK based suppliers on price, although some of
the overseas suppliers offering the kit in US Dollars are tougher to beat on price.
So he offers the LU181A @ £63.04 plus VAT, total £75.65. (list
price is £87.56 plus VAT, total £105.07). Martin offers a good service
too.
New V8 distributors are currently £175.00 plus VAT.
