If your car is a '78, it must be an XJ6 Series 2, so not a particularly sophisticated ignition system which was made by Lucas. So it should be fairly easy to trouble-shoot.
These cars used a Lucas system called "Opus" for "oscillating pick-up system", but many Lucas technicians called it "Oplus" !! It does indeed have an ignition amplifier, and these can/usually do, fail. Replacements are no longer available but you might be able to convert to the later (post 1982), system if you know a bit about electronics. However, Doug is probably more expert on this as I have not looked at one of these cars for decades. |
Awesome thank you il try that and see how it goes. il post how it goes.
