Hi Guy!


I am currently building a 1976 Fiat 128 1290cc SOHC engine for racing for a friend of mine.

We plan to redline the engine at approx 8000.

Will the standard ignition components cope with this or will upgraded items be needed?


Best regards

From direct exp of that engine I can tell you the standard CB (contact breaker) system will easily cope with that, how much better breakerless (eg: Lumention) would be - I honestly don't know.

I have never exp a problem with 'points bounce' on a 4cyl unit under 8500rpm.

I have electronic ignition on mine .. the main advantage being that you can get a rev limiting module to plug straight into it
