‘SmoothCut Rev’ Limiter
Perhaps you don’t use your car flat out, but this could save an expensive
bill by avoiding over-revving .
The road use rev limiter comes preset for four cylinder cars to 6000rpm. It
allows use of full throttle up to the limit, at which point power is gradually
reduced. This unit can be preset to the customer's specification; please
ask for details. The competition unit is fully adjustable and works by
progressively mis-timing the spark - preventing an increase in engine
speed, and reducing the possibility of damage to your engine (& wallet!).
It is suitable for 4, 6 or 8 cylinder engines,

Lucas ‘Sports’ Coils
Lucas Sports coils are designed to improve ignition performance. They
give more reliable starting power and greater performance at high rev’s
thanks to the 40,000 volt output.
Don’t forget to renew the plugs & leads to optimise the power.
Note; your HT Lead will need to be 'Push-in' type.

Standard & High Performance Ignition Leads
Get the spark from your Sports Coil with Silicone Leads. Designed to
perform.
We stock 2 grades of H.T. Lead; Standard & High Performance Silicone.
The Silicone Leads transmit greater energy to the spark plug creating a
stronger spark and, the silicone insulation is able to withstand much
higher temperatures, improving reliability.
