I have totally rebuilt the van from the bottom up and as I had to take the engine out to rebuild the chassis, why not strip it back and replace what needs replacing to give many more years of service (only changed the piston rings as everything else was in good fettle).
Not electronic ignition but one change I will probably make once it is back on the road.
The cap and leads are new so the chance of getting a jolt or low (I hope...)
