MG TD TF 1500 - Electronic Ignition TF ?

Greetings....
Considering making the plunge to a "pointless TF"!
(wife has been telling me for years the "T" is "pointless")..........
I know this subject has been covered here before....but what's the "current" thoughts on the subject? What is the best "kit"? Where is the best place to purchase it from? My TF is neg ground system.
Any thoughts out there?
Cheers,

David,
With no reservations I would suggest that you contact Skip Kelsey (kelsey@shadetreemotors.com) to purchase a pertronix ignition. His prices are good and he knows what he's talking about. It's a very easy installation. I have one in my TD.

Have a look at aldonauto.co.uk

They make an electronic ignition system called the "Ignitor"

It fits inside the distributer and unless you take off the cap there is nothing to show the car is not original.

I have fitted ones to my MGB and my Lotus Elan and they have performed without any faults at all. Spoke to them a wee while ago and they do have a kit for an EXPAG distributer. I will be fitting one when I get round to eventuially starting the engine.

i bought my pertronix ignition ad Skip Kelsey and he is indeed knowing where he is talking about. Het send me the right ignition for my TF 1500 negative ground and the installation was quite simple. Just put it in and setting the ignition on time again.
At the outside nothing to see what is in it.....working perfect....very happy with it.

Just email skip and he will tell you is he can help you....

David,
Used the pertronix in my 72 MGB. Instant improvement!
Definitely intend in putting one in my TF and the MGA.
I think you can get them thru Little British Car Co.

Which dealer offered the best price, Dave?
Jim Merz

Jim,
LBC shows them on website for $90.00 ...Shadetree for $92.00. I quit hunting when Bud told me he had a "spare" he would sell me! Try a "google" search. I put the post up when I could not find them because I put in "pentronix" instead of "pertronix"!!!

At $92.00 from Shadetree, the unit is a better price since Skip ships free for order over $50.00.

David, I can't believe that your wife would call your TF "pointless", expecially after that neat coordinated T series survival outfit you described getting for her on her birthday, or was it Christmas...hmmm...perhaps it is because of the outfit.

Cheers - Dave
