123 Electronic Ignition
« on: March 15, 2025, 02:17:30 »
Hello everyone,
I am debating on changing my points system to electronic ignition. Is the 123ignition electronic replacement fully electronic and not use points??

Thanks, Michael

Yes, and it looks exactly like the original.
I have had one in my 250SL as well as my E Type for the last ten years or so.

You have to chose between the 3 versions
1 with curves preinstalled
2 USB , need a computer , you can modify the curves as you wish….
3 idem but with Bluetooth app

The 123 ignition Tutoriel is well done . Even me can understand…🙄
