After some help. I have a stock 1300 single port that doesn't miss a beat. I would like to add a drop in electronic ignition. The distributor is a vacuum advance bosch ju4r8 0231147002 111905205m. Can anyone recommend me one that they have used with success and who they purchased it off. Any help would be great. Cheers

I have used HotSpark in the past without any dramas. Or try Pertronix.

I have been using a Compufire for years. I found I needed a little loctite on the hold down screw in the dizzie. Beats adjusting and changing points any day

Do you need to change the coil as well or is the standard 12volt fine?

I didn't change my coil with the Compufire

Is it a vacuum advance distributor you are using?
