Don't need an auto spark - your local mini mechanic can do it.

Go and dig up a suitable pulsar dizzy & your mini mechanic can probably modify & fit it in half an hour.

I had mine out about 30 degrees, but Al at MiniCentral sorted it in 10 minutes!

Another (dearer) alternative is replace the points in your Lucas dizzy with a Pertronix ignitor, made in USA.
It's a drop-in swap, and you can keep your original 12V coil.
Available (at inflated prices) here in Oz, or do what I did- and buy from http://www.vintageperformance.com/retro ... /lucas.htm
It will be at your door in a week... much cheaper than buying here or from UK. 8)

They are good, no more points to adjust and timing stays set, but you will still have the limitations of your (probably worn) Lucas dizzy.
A Pulsar (Hitachi) dizzy is a much more accurately made device. :wink:

I was told Bosch make an electronic dizzy that fits a Mini, just need to use the old dog gear out of the old dizzy but they are a bit expensive, like $450.00...

Lumenition is another simple conversion, similar to Petronix. Cheaper to buy from UK than here. Less than an hour to fit, then just forget....
