Well,
I got the 1966 P220 into the backyard.
I fixed the two front windows so they move smoothly
up and down as the former owner had trash bags over the
frame and just shut the doors...LOL.
I cleanned out the interior and found a very nice set of
jumper cables hidden in the right side fender panel in
the back which was a nice bonus.

I then moved to the engine!
this is where I realized I have no ignition key
so I did the old screwdriver to the starter
just to see if the engine would crank and it does very nicely
but, it didn't want to kick at all.
I then took a plug out and realized there was no spark.

That brings me to my question.

In my 67' P220 I still have a coil but I was wondering
what everyone here was running in there 122's???

Does it really make sense to switch over to
an electronic ignition or is it better???

Any input is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Karl
