What i have fitted on my Lotus Elan Sprint is a "SIMONBLOC HALL EFFECT". "POWERSPARK"
Fits inside the dissy cap and does not effect the rev counter or anything else.
You just need to be sure the HT Coil is 3 ohms resistance.
I fitted this 5 years ago and it works fantastic.
Nice bit of kit

I'm running the Accuspark unit. Fits inside the dizzy & simple to fit. £35 cost.
The engine has always run perfectly with it installed. But I've had to replace it twice after working on the electrics. It is very sensitive to any voltage spikes I guess. Their tech help is excellent & both replacements they sent out next day for half price. I always have a spare in the car just in case.

Powerspark fitted . Had some difficulty starting but after I advanced the ignition by quite a few degrees all seems well.
My car was fitted with an old porcelain ballast resistor. The old feed to the resistor is now the positive ignition feed to the coil. The resistor is now, of course, redundant.
However, there is/was another wire leading out of the resistor which disappears into the loom and I just cannot find where it goes.
Any ideas ??

The ballast resistor is bypassed during cranking (the whole point of the system), so possibly the other wire goes back to the starter solenoid.My car was fitted with an old porcelain ballast resistor.
