To Everyone:
I contacted Frank Jolley of Jolley Ignition company in the UK about ignition systems and here is his response "I do not have original 24 volt coils for the M151 but have a High Performance Coil and Ballast Resistor combo which needs to be located outside the distributor and sells for 83.00 GBP." "I also have an Electronic Ignition kit for the M151 which fits entirely within the distributor (no external amplifiers ect) and they sell for 163.90 GBP.",,,,,,Combined shipping to the USA is 25.50 GBP..
Contact frank Jolley at sales@classicheads.com and visit his website at www.classicheads.com..
He is the inventor and founder of the company and will work with you on designing a new system if needed...Very reliable and honest,,,It may take him a few days to answer email..
I personally have never heard of a problem with his electronic parts..
To figure out a price go to Google and type in CONVERT GBP TO DOLLARS...
Good luck to all.

I have had a Jolley electronic Ignition in my Ferret for over four years. They are a beautiful fit and work well. I will not be buying a kit for my MUTT as I don't have a problem as yet. If it does fail in future I would certainly turn to him for help.

Yes,that is how I learned about Jolley a few years ago when I owned a Ferret...The guy really cares about people and the product that he puts out...

I am going full USGI parts!!! that is the best and the only choice for the ignition stuffs.

When it come to electrical parts... nothing can be seen or judged visually.

I drove it for two hours today with NOS coil and module.. not even a hiccup.

Your top bows are supposed to be folded down on the fenders.
