Following a discussion on the Morris Minor Owner's Club forum, I bought a Pertronix Ignitor electronic ignition kit. I'm told it's exactly the same as the Aldon Ignitor but cheaper. It doesn't do computerised remapping of the advance curve or anything fancy like that, it simply replaces the mechanical contact breaker (points) and condenser in the standard distributor with a hall effect switch and a ring with four magnets in it. You never need to reset the gap or replace it due to wear, and the manufacturer says you get a more powerful spark (hence a more efficient burn) even with a standard coil because of the cleaner switching profile.
