Hi Dave, would you believe it is still not on the road, it is 80% done but now they are working on Jeffrey's car which is completely apart. They are finishing the wiring and have to reinstall the interior and trim pieces. So I am hoping next spring. I have been busy at work and also restoring vintage motorbikes as well as doing track days with my Porsche. so my interest has been elsewhere. Regarding the ignition, the car is 12volts so the ignition should be as well. I would install an electronic ignition and forget points and ballast. There are several British systems which work quite well. The problem is when the module fails you are stuck, with points and a few simple tools, you can almost always get home. All the best.
