Electronic ignition - anyone tried it ?

Post by David V » Mon May 16, 2022 9:40 am

Has anyone fitted electronic ignition to their WLA ? I came across a V-tronic 6 vt electronic ignition box that I had bought a decade ago but never put in.

Has anyone put one on, or had issues with it ? Can you feel the difference ? My points need changing. I was thinking about changing everything.

I have it one in my jeep and it runs much smoother.

Owned 2 WLAs previously and installed them in each. Worked flawlessly. The one with the LED is best as you can do the timing with the LED.
