Description
The ignition-system in a classic car is often the source of many problems. After years of use, the mechanical distributor becomes worn and increasingly inaccurate. Although replacement of the standard points with an optical eye or magnetic ignition set-up is an improvement, it does not compensate for the wear in the advance-mechanism, the distributor shaft and bearings within the distributor itself.
In a 123ignition, all moving parts like the original points, the centrifugal weights, the springs, the bearings and the vacuum-diaphragm have been replaced with just one moving part: the central shaft with the rotor. The internal electronics provide the right advance and the optimum dwell-angle throughout the revolutions range to maintain peak energy and peak performance. There is no wear altering the timing of the 123ignition: once set, you’ll never have to worry about it again!

Manufacturers Description
The 123/JAG-6-R-V is designed to improve the performance of the Jaguar 3.4, 3.8 and 4.2 litre, 6 cylinder XK-engines. These engines require more degrees advance.
When the maximum specified degrees advance (see last page of the installation manual ) is more than you need, our advice is to order the 123-GB-6-R-V.
The unit offers 16 different advance-curves, which can be selected by means of a little switch. This is a great feature for easy fine-tuning your engine!
It also offers:
– Vacuum-advance
– Automatic dwell
– Spark balancing
– Automatic power-cut after 1 second
– Gear shift retard
