Vintage Speedsters Ignition System | 356 Speedster, 550 Spyder, Replica, Automotive Community

I'm having some issues with my new (105 miles) VS. The local mechanic thinks its an ignition problem. He's asking what type of ignition (manuf/model #) system was installed. Any idea of what Kirk is installing these days? I've reached out to him, waiting for response, but figured I'd ask you guys also. Thx.

Typically, just the standard 009 distributor with points, but I'd be a little concerned about my mechanic if he had to ask that question.
Anyway, Kirk will be in touch soon.

I talked to Kirk, he's been great.
