A and L series engines he says but on the pertronix website I can find no mention of L series engines. Are L and A dizzy similar?

Has anyone else used these on a L18?

Its alot of money if it don't work

Check out Ebay before you buy. I got one of these last year off Ebay whilst the dollar was high (and it still is pretty good) for something like NZD$100-$120 landed.

Can try to find more details if you are interested.

Hey just to follow up on this from a year ago.

I fitted a Powerspark electronic ignition kit to my L18 the other week and it works great.
Got it from this guy....

Only cost 85 I think it was (114$ with a new coil and delivery)
