Hi,
As an old git myself, I have memories of 80’s/90’s cars and bikes that used “ignition amplifiers”.
These were driven from an electronic pickup and were ‘dumb’ (the ignition amplifier provided no advance/retard it was just a switch).
Can anyone guide me to a good reliable type of “dumb ignition amplifier” that can be bought cheaply today? I had hoped to use a double unit such as the Bosch 0227100200 but these are very expensive.
I also need a pair of wasted spark coils to work with these – again looking for a cheap solution that old electricians remember to be reliable.
Please note - its DUMB units I'm looking for and these will be driven from a PIC.
Hoping to spend >£10 each for the amplifiers and >£20 each for the HT coils.
Thanks in advance.
