E type electronic ignition
Discussion
I apologise if this has been done to death, but I can't see any recent threads on this. I have just bought a S2 (LHD US spec) and want to fit electronic ignition. Can anyone recommend a good system. I have been looking at the 123 ignition system but am a little confused and worried about reports that the rev counter may not work without modification (is this true?)
Any help would be appreciated. In addition, what else would people recommend I do to improve reliability (noting I do not have an unlimited budget)

Ignition Impulse Tacho on the Series 2 which is totally different to the Series 1 which is powered by an AC Generator . I have had many friends over the years who have carried out the same Conversion . You want the E Type Section of any Jaguar forum in order to correspond with fellow Owners , the JDC also have a worthwhile E Type resource and well worth exploiting .

You really want to be utilising a resource such as the above , I suspect you may struggle to get the same depth of knowledge on Pistonheads at least in the short term .

Thanks buddyspire and reddiesel.
I think the Bluetooth 123 Electronic ignition looks like the one for me, the fact it will also act as an immobiliser clinched it.
I will look at other including: forums.jag-lovers.com, I think you are right, Pistonheads may be good for my TVR but perhaps not the best forum for E Types.

For an E-Type you'd probably get a better answer from the Classic car forum here on PH, but certainly back when I had my XK150 then Jag-Lovers was the main place to go for technical discussions.I think the Bluetooth 123 Electronic ignition looks like the one for me, the fact it will also act as an immobiliser clinched it.

Thank you for the comments and yes I will look at other E-Type forums. But just to close this thread I have decided not to go for a standalone electronic ignition distributer conversion such as the 123 ignition system, but have gone for a Classicfuelinjection.co.uk fuel injection conversion. Included in this is a kit to modify the distributer to electron ignition, to be controlled through the MaxxECU Mini supplied. It is quite a project to fit, but the kit and instructions are quite comprehensive (I am currently about 3/4 way through fitting).
