Re: Electronic ignitions
I think BSA motorcycles were made in Britain. All the hoodlums in my neighborhood had some kind of British motorcycle at some time. They were always working on them. The British cars were the same way. The British could not build anything that did not need constant attention. The key word is British! Ford Model "A"s are USA. (kind of rhymes)
I like Tom Wesenberg's reply. It is your car and you can do anything you want to do to it. Just do not compare a Model "A" to your British made junk. LOL

Ironically, my project for next week is removing the computer controlled Q-jet carb and distributor on my '85 El Camino and replacing them with old school parts! |

Re: Electronic ignitions
The Model A ignition is very reliable. If you have a problem it can be fixed on the road. Electronic ignition cannot. I am running the original wiring in my 1952 Ford F1 6 volt system and original wiring and ignition in my Model A. I trust those more than my modern car. I guess I'm a 6 volt man in a 12 volt world. It can only be original once.

Re: Electronic ignitions
I was in no way comparing BSA to Model A. I was just trying to say that it is more fun going for a ride if Murphy isn't in the back seat. Electronic ignition just sounded like fewer mechanical parts and no condencer so less problems. Since electronic ignition came out I have never had a single problem ignition like we had years ago. I think some new technology is at least worth considering.

BTW, to keep this Model A related I use my Cub Cadet to mow a path to my Model A garage. Also I like my trouble free original Model A with points and original coil with it's hot, blue 1/2" spark. If that spark was any hotter It might melt the center electrode.LOL |
