Hi, the 123 distributor is a nicely made product, reliable and if you think you know what curve your engine needs, and can analyse that with the aid of a dyno etc , then maybe its worth a try. The quality of spark is just a normal electronic one.
I would ask. How any mini or moke or sprite owners, or whatever make think they really know what curve their engine would run best at ? How much base timing ? How much maximum timing ? Is it different for an SU or a weber? When does the curve finish in revs , how to stop pinking in the 2000 - 3000 rpm range whilst still getting performance. Car companies have dozens of engineers taking years to get the tune correct.. this is a complex subject and takes years and experience to understand it. Tailor made distributors made by reputable distributor builder imho is the best way. Of course that is more expensive and there are not a lot in Australia. I have tried to find a cheaper good alternative, and I recently refused to buy a cheap overseas product to meet this market. The quality and consistency is just not good enough. And again imho if you can get long spark duration with your product you are into the best spark.
