Too right! The FBO units looks like a nicely put together piece of kit Jon!

Would you prefer an electrical item manufactured and assembled by Italians?

They aren't that bad. They only had to replace our Alfa the once.

I would give the FBO unit a go. If Turnip keeps replacements in stock? JUST in case.

Plus you could keep an "orange box" spare in the car in case it did pack up. Then you would never be stranded.

But you know my feelings on MSD boxes

Not every piece of Magnet Marelli is 5hit unkers................just most of it

New box looks good Jon, is that in direct competition with the RevNator unit?
Looks good and I just checked the cost and its competitive

Don updated it when they guys that were making them for him started out sourcing them to China and he is not a great fan of "chink junk"

Back in the day I bought Rosie one of those Lancia Beta coupe ragtops and the electrical system got so bad, it was like bloody Carlie Cairoli's car, switch on the lights and the wipers stopped and all that malarky.

I ended up getting an auto electrician to re-wire the thing!
