MG Midget and Sprite Technical - IGNITION COIL FOR 1500

Anybody got a good recommendation for an upgrade on the standard ignition coil om a midget 1500?
Thanks.

What are you looking for in an upgrade? That is, what sort of driving do you mean to do?

I ask because there are varying opinions on the need for an uprated coil.

Cheers,

Hi Gryf

I've been running a Lucas Sports coil on my Jigsaw Racing tuned 1500 (=040" bore, lightened & balanced, performance cam, bit of head work with standard valves,t ubular exhaust manifold, tweaked inlet manifold and carbs, etc).

Thought about a new Lucas Sports coil but wondered if anyone else had any experience of any others, ( eg Aldon Fireball, Mocro dynamics, etc).i
Cheers.

I have found the Aldon Flame thrower coil works very well with their electronic ignition and dizzy,once fitted an improvement in performance was noticed over the standard set up, so they get my vote.
