Dicky ignition switch or fuse in line (no idea if applicable) making the power supply temperamental?

Interesting - I've used that coil before but as above, only with electronic setups - as my understanding was you can't get the full capacity of 40k Volts from it through points and condensors - but I may well be wrong (make that almost certainly wrong if Dizzy Doc recommended it).

For what it's worth, I've normally defaulted to a Lucas Gold one on A and B series applications, but the one you have there is definitely better in capacity - and I would wager in quality now that Lucas just seem to whore out their brand and produce the cheapist shite from China like most other once-great British brands (hence the cost differential between the two).

Either way, great update and glad you got it working eventually. There will be some finickity reason it didn't work from the off like the wire in the dizzy wasn't quite making good contact or something like that - anyway it works now so I would defo call that a win  - Well done!
