The Jolley electronic kit gets my vote. I have fitted it to both the Champ (B40) and Humber (B60) with noticeable improvement in starting and performance, but the biggest advantage is no more points. Hardest part of the installation is hiding the extra wire.

I wholly agree with Rich. It is possible to hide the extra wire, you just have to think.

Completely invisible, best money you can spend. David I will ave to look up some photos, if i have them. I was like 12 years ago.

The instructions are simple and clear. It would require talent to foul it up.

The electric fuel pump is another modification that really is not needed as the original fuel pump is very capable and people forget just how long most of those pumps have been in those vehicles for. My opinion.

Pulling the pack out is daunting if you have never done it but once you have its a whole different kettle of fish. We did fuel pump and fluid flywheel seal while the pack was out, flushed and pressure tested the rad, put new hoses on and put it back in. Now with a remote fuel source it is a reliable vehicle. Oh and we also have done the spin on oil filter adapter change up, again quite invisible if you paint the new filter. Just have the spin on fuel filter adapter to do on that Ferret which belongs to work.
