So where do you go for decent quality point sets for an S these days???

For years (decades actually) I ran a Piranha system. Eventually it failed (not sure it was the fault on of the unit - does anyone have a wiring diagram???) and I refitted the points I removed to fit the Piranha. They have worked fine for the last few years but must be getting tired by now

What are the current views on electronic systems ??- I have a fondness for IR triggers....

I use the Lumenition Magnetronic system because it sits entirely within the distributor. I have been very pleased with this.

I have also used in the past the Lumenition Optronic systems and was very pleased with them. They need an external amplifier box.

I've had electronic ignition fail leaving me stranded. I've seen them fail on the circuit too. You can always carry a spare set of points that will get you home. Swifty's condenser is the best in the world.

I use variations on the under the cap type electronic ignition & also carry a spare set just in case of disaster.

I run a CSI distributor with the Swiftune maps, and have a spare (complete points system built up in a dizzy) in the box that we take with us to events (just in case), the CSI has done a lot of hard work at high RPM and did not let me down last season, at least with this set up it all looks original (bar 1 extra wire), and you get the bonus of replacing a distributor that might have some wear in it at the same time

Thanks Guys, I bought an Aldon Yellow at the same time as the Piranha setup. It still seems to work fine - even the 24 year old points still work (although they obviously haven't done 24 years work).

I suspect the Piranha is also still "Ok" and that it was a bad earth that caused the original failure. At the time i just undid it and tossed it in a box.... Does anyone have a wiring diagram??
