Moss Motors is proud to offer the CSI-Optimized Distributor. The advantage of this distributor is that it offers a fully electronic ignition system built into the correct type of Lucas distributor housing to suit your car, keeping the original appearance in the engine bay. Gone are the points and condenser and mechanical advance mechanism, all replaced with a high quality electronic ignition system. These distributors are maintenance free (no points to adjust), and offer the benefits of, easier starting, smoother running, more torque and power, and reduced fuel consumption and emissions.

Each CSI-Optimized Distributor features 16 easily switchable ignition curves to allow timing adjustment to suit your car’s engine and fuel specifications. Alternative advance curves can be selected to suit your engine’s state of tune making them ideal for both stock and modified engines. Curves are easily selected using a screwdriver in a rotary switch, with a bright flashing LED indicator to show the selected curve—all concealed underneath the distributor cap.
Since the CSI-Optimized Distributor uses the correct type of distributor body for the application it is a direct swap. Full instructions and ignition curve selection guidance is included. Requires a 3 ohm Coil such as our Intermotor Sport Coil (part number 143-201).

is the moss electronic less sensitive to voltage fluctuations than the pertronix?
i have burned through two pertronix sets and i keep a set of points in the trunk for emergencies.
not sure what the problem was but seems stable now.

I owned an MGB back in 1975 while in the military in Germany and loved that car. I just bought another one, a 1980 model (MGB as well, 1.8 engine, convertible and I have it almost restored thanks to Moss Mottors! I would have never thoght there was an after market company still making parts for the MGB back to the 60s and 70s and 80s! Needless to say, I just got my car a new top, engine valve cover, and a lot of other parts. It is too bad that Wisconsin has such a terrible weather and my garage is being occupied by my snow removal vehivcle and now my MGB. Can’t wait until Spring gets here so I can jump start my new project! Thanks, Moss Mottors, you guys are the best!
