Saturday 20th May - Electronic ignition

 Some time last year I bought a Pertronix electronic ignition kit for my Cortina estate, but due to various other tasks going on, I had never got round to fitting it. 


So, with the gearbox away for repairs for the Zetec Cortina and the cylinder head still being rebuilt for the Triumph, I had nothing else to do, so I finally fitted the ignition to the estate. It was different from normal as the Cortina estate is 1963 and still running a positive earth system. However, after double checking the wiring I had the car running well. A short test drive followed and adjustments were made to the distributor to make sure it was running spot on. Another job off the list!
