1970 Flavia Coupe 2000

[msh2908]

So, in addition to sorting the fuel smell, I'm and planning to change the points, condenser, dizzy cap etc.. They've not been changed since I bought the car 3 years ago. But before I do so, can anyone recommend an electronic ignition alternative?

Any guidance greatly received.

I run a luminition system on the standard distributor on my Flavia Vignale iniezione. Keeps it looking standard.

The only issue I have found with Luminition is the small electronic  box needs to be well earthed to the car chassis.

Ditto with Tim’s last post.  Have had the Luminition system fitted since I’ve owned my Flavia Coupe.  Makes starting so much better, takes most of the ‘will it won’t it’ out of the procedure.

Cheers,  Peter

Thanks both for the note on Lumenition system.  Is there a particular model number you are using or they all generic?

Not generic. Give them a call with your distributor model (Marelli 105A??)

Mark,

I fitted a Pertronix electronic system to my Flavia a few years ago and it has worked perfectly since. Easy starting and smooth running and it’s all contained inside the distributor so no control module to mount/hide.

Is it a straightforward thing to install? And roughly how much did it cost?  My Flavia starts on the button and runs smooth but I'm always interested in mods that add modern efficiencies.
