RE: SER1 Spark Plug Gap

Dear Ian Stuart,

Which Lumenition set do you use (magnetronic the build in unit or optotronic
with an external control box)on what distributor, the original Lucas DVXH4A
or a more recent type like the Lucas 25D?

I am planning to use the magnetronic unit on a DVXH4A distributor, but that
is unfortunately not a strait forward fitting. So I am interested to hear
from LR owners who use that combination.

Seeing forward to hear from you.

Interesting.

As I've said, I have a luminition system on my (spread-bore) 2ltr... and 
it's great. I used to have hassles with the condenser and the points 
(it's a "tweaked" engine, and non-standard dizzy). The luminition has 
been a plug-and-forget system: no pitting points, no having to reset the 
gap, no losing power at the top end...

Definitely recommend it (or it's ilk)
