Triumph TR6 Electronic Ignition

I was recently asked by John if I could come over to his house and convert his #TriumphTR6 to #ElectronicIgnition using the #Lumenition Magnetronic system. I took the opportunity to film myself converting the car from points and condenser to electronic ignition for the benefit of everyone who watches my channel. Lumenition Magnetronic is available from most classic car suppliers such as Moss Europe, TRGB and at a club level from the Triumph Sport Six Club. It's a very neat conversion kit, easy to install, and easily reversible if you wanted to go back to points and condenser

Great video Steve, John's car looks awesome too. Good "how to" guide as ever.

Nice engine bay. Love the black rocker cover and the yellow plug leads etc

Best thing I ever did for my TR - used to have to check/adjust the points with boring regularity. That is a thing of the past now!

Excellent video. I did the Lumenition Magnetronic on my 1969 TR6. Works great, and you can't tell because it's all inside the distributor. You might want to check your distributor beforehand. I had mine completely rebuilt just to be sure. What's another 120 bucks on a full frame off resto. In for a penny in for a pound.

Still on Points on my Steve, looks easy to do might change mine over the winter. Great video

Points and condenser - how many breakdowns have these caused over the years :). Electronic ignition is the way to go on classics for day to day use and this kit looks like it allows for easy conversion back . Thanks for showing how simple it is to fit.

Great video, I actually purchased this exact part for my US 1976 TR6 due to your video. It all was going smoothly unit I realized that in the US cars, the ballast resister IS the positive wire, the instructions say that if there is a ballast resister to connect it to the wire before the resistor. Being that the resistor is the wire, I can't do that. Do you know what is the best way to power this on a US car war with a ballasted coil?

Hi Steve. I'd just like to get to the point (no pun intended!) where l can make a choice ! Mine is still way off before the body is ready to refit to the chassis. I guess this is a no brainer if you want your 6 to run more reliably. Thanks Steve. Hope you had the door open when running up the engine !

Lovely looking Mimosa '6. Pretty straightforward install, would the adjuster knob on the distributor be enough to dial in the timing without needing to slacken the distributor?

[fullmetalx]

Awesome video! How can I find that product?

[NialPowerCork]

Thanks, ran sweet when the timing was adjusted.

All I want now All I want now is the condition, original as possible 150bhp TR6, any assistance?
