Warning. Ignition123 electronic distributor & iridium plugs

Hi,
I had problems with my Flaminia running badly for months and couldn't work out what the problem was.
It was that iridium plugs are not compatible with the 123 distributor.
I emailed the designer and he immediately came back with "Put your original plugs back in". Problem solved.

Well done Chris!
Any more information as to why they are not compatible?

The plugs are fired by the coil, as long as the plug gaps are not too large for the coil output I cant see what difference the distributor makes.

Hi
On reading the various comments it appears the Iridium ones can operate at lower voltages than copper/platinum and if recommended for a car, then not to use platinum or copper ones which makes me suspect that you need to have the ignition system tailored for iridium ones and to stick with the manuf suggested plugs unless you have modified the engine.
