if it's for a pinto, then the cheapest way to electronic ignition is to rob out an old Sierra... you want the one with the vacuum capsule on the dizzy and you need to take the dizzy, Motorcraft box on inner wing, coil and wiring. £20 to £30 from a breakers.

I don't get it... the 2.8i has "hall effect" electronic ignition as standard (the aluminium "Duraspark" unit on the passengers side inner wing at the back), so why are you looking at Aldon kits?

yeah... I know that it replaces the points... but you say it's for a 2.8i... they don't have points...

only the 4 pots and the 3 litres had the conventional contact breaker ignition system. The 2.8i has "hall effect" (magnetic triggered) electronic ignition (Fords "Duraspark" system) as standard.

If you have a 2.8i with contact breaker ignition, then someone has changed it in the past as ALL 2.8i Capris left the factory with Duraspark "hall effect" electronic ignition.
