In the last video I installed a 123 Ignition Tune distributor in my 1975 Jaguar XJ6. After driving it for a couple of days, what's it like? Does my classic car run better with a 123 Ignition electronic ignition system?

Great show and demo on the 123. On the older jags be aware the vacuum pipes to the servo can collapse and give a hard pedal with bad brakes.

Yes that can happen but it was the servo leaking

Put electronic ignition on my 1967 Morris minor and it does run a lot smoother than it used to.

Seems to be a good upgrade on most classics. Love the Morris Minor btw!

Nice to see your story- I’m in a thinking process for a 123 solution

123, CSI, Pertronix, Aldon and a few others are all great products and very worthwhile discretely installing in any classic. On the other hand sadly, I can't say the same about Accuspark (and the many other names under which they exist...Powerspark for example) far too many failures for my liking!!!.... Back on the topic of the 123 it is also very easy to install, just take care in that the distributor caps on 123 tend to take 'push fit' HT leads, and hence any existing 'acorn' type HT connectors will need swapping out.

Nice job! I got for my XJ40 a radio with a screen, bluetooth and reverse camera. I'll have fun installing it this winter, while the car is off the road.

Is this ignition system suitable for the s1 2.8? Thank you.

You're probably giving it too much WOT for fuel consumption numbers yet, perhaps wait for spring after you've finished your tuning.
@LivingWithAClassic
@LivingWithAClassic Год назад
I’ll do a fuel consumption test a bit later when I drive it to work again.

my car does run better with the 123 because I tuned it much better than using little disributor springs.

Time to blank off some of your front grilles for faster winter warmups ! Was this the same ignition that Wheeler Dealers fitted to their Series II Coupe ?

Not sure if it is actually

Does the dizzy lose its programming if the battery goes dead ??
@LivingWithAClassic
@LivingWithAClassic Год назад
No, it should keep its programming forever according to the manufacturer

Great work Adam. Hopefully they come out with one for the V12 soon. Looking on their website it looks like they my have one, but I have not contacted them. My other option is a Mobek upgrade with dizzy delete. Cheers.

Thanks Jeff! I plan to use the SNG Barratt system on my XJ-S
@jeffharrison5265
@jeffharrison5265 Год назад
@@LivingWithAClassic yes, Harry of Harry's Garage went with that SNG uggrade. My issue is I don't have a ECU. By the time I sent out my injectors for service and purchase a ECU from AJ6 engineering, I'm almost at the cost of Mobek. AJ6 Engineering does have larger throttle bodies for our V12's. That looks interesting!!
@LivingWithAClassic
@LivingWithAClassic Год назад
True if I don’t have anything I’d go with the Mobek system

Can you switch between two different ignition timing settings? I'm running dual fuel (lpg and petrol), would be good if it could to switch timing to suit the specific fuel.
@LivingWithAClassic
@LivingWithAClassic Год назад
Yes you can. Just switch of the ignition, turn on the ignition, switch curves and then start your engine.

I am surprised because I run 38 degrees on my 3.8 MK2 so 24 degrees seems way off
@LivingWithAClassic
@LivingWithAClassic Год назад
It’s taken from the information about the stock distributor. I get about 34 degrees at 3600 with the vacuum advance
@bernhardlist9359
@bernhardlist9359 Год назад
@@LivingWithAClassic yes but I don’t use the vacuum advance at the moment because that is important for economy at high RPM and strong vacuum (throttle closed, like downshift) now you run it lean (slow burning) and need more time to burn the fuel completely. The MK2 with the 3.8 engine has 19 (distributor !!! ) degrees meening 38 crank degrees. Actually it would even be 42 because 4 degrees static but during acceleration timing tests above 38 the time gain diminished and so I stayed on the safe side away from knocking. Later I was on a Dyno having 175 real HP on the rear wheel and after my disappointment (shouldn’t it be 220?) the Tuner told me yes measured at the Flywheel it would be but 175 on the wheel is the best he had seen on such an engine. Me, happy 🤩
