AccuSpark Ignition Module

[Durhamguy]

Anybody had recent experience with this electronic module to replace the contact points?

I found one fellow from 2020 who was positive about it. Wondering if anyone else has used them.

Thanks

I've had Lumination on my Alpine for over 25 years without a flaw. I've had Pertonix on my other cars, similarly without flaw. But no experience with Accuspark. I think complaints about electric points are overblown. Pertonix says that most people's claims of failed Pertronix are from something else - but which includes worn out wobbly distributors that damage the Pertronix.

I have Accuspark on 2 cars
, 63 GT and 67 ST Never had a problem and the price is reasonable.

Likewise with a Series 1, have used Accuspark for 5 or 6 years without issues.

I have a version of it and it's been incredibly reliable.

I have received the electronic module and looking how to fit it. I have a ballasted coil and ballast on my SIV. It is also positive ground. Tach but no ammeter.

To the folks who responded previously, did you retain the ballast set up when wiring the Accuspark in? I understand the ballasted coil can be used with or without the ballast.

Pics of current set attached. Also pic of Accuspark positive earth instructions.

From what I can figure out

Black module wire connects to former LT wire on distributor to negative (SW) terminal of coil.
New ground wire from positive (CB) coil terminal to chassis.
White module wire connects ignition live (which is white/green wire from solenoid shown in picture on + side of coil)? Does not connect to coil?
Ballast wiring stays as is.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.
