Which electronic ignition do members recommend for a 1967 A65?

I always use Boyer Bransden and can vouch for them. However, others are available and I've not heard of any that should be avoided.

Thanks, I think that's the one I'm going to get with 6 volt coils.

I had Pazon on my A65 had it on for 10 years with no problems at all.

Back in 1995 i  installed a Boyer Brandson  with 6 volt coils, it still runs without problems too on my lightning 1970.

I've got Boyer on three bikes with no problems at all. Providing you have a good well charged battery. I dont know if that problem is general or just Boyer.

Just fitted a Pazon, excellent so far. Would have started first kick if I remembered to turn on the ignition.  But too soon to talk about reliability.

I believe the Pazon guys are ex Boyer Bransden and claim to produce a slightly better engineered version of the same basic design.
