Magnetronic Ignitions

MAGNETRONIC ELECTRONIC IGNITION

For less demanding application in classic 4 and 6 cylinder vehicles of the 1960's to 1980's fitted with Lucas 20 or 40-series distributors (e.g. from 1959 to 1985) or for the VW Beetle, flat-4 cylinder engine, a Lumenition Magnetronic ignition offers an alternative, lower cost electronic ignition to the Optronic without sacrificing the Optronic's proven reliability.

Replacing contact breakers and condensors, the Magnetronic requires no maintenance and has no parts to wear out

"A trigger disk fitted with high-power nyodimium magnets is fitted over the distributor cam and rotates over the rugged die-cast metal module case, triggering a sensor in the Magnetronic module which fires the coil.

Mounted wholly inside the distributor body installation could not be easier. With one screw needed to fit the module and two wires to connect to the coil terminals, installation should take about 15 minutes. Re-timing the engine is performed by rotating the distributor body, just as you would do with points.
