Classic cars have a soul that modern vehicles simply can’t replicate — the mechanical chatter, the tactile driving feel, the unmistakable character. But one thing most vintage vehicles don’t excel at is ignition reliability. Worn points, inconsistent spark, hard cold starts, and constant adjustments can take the joy out of classic motoring.
The Mr CarMan Electronic Ignition System changes that — without changing the heart of your vehicle.
Designed specifically for vintage and classic petrol engines, this universal plug-and-play unit retains your original distributor and coil while delivering the performance, efficiency, and reliability of modern ignition technology. Durable, dependable, and engineered for long-term enjoyment, it brings smooth running and easy start-up back to your classic — exactly as it should be.

Hard starting
-
Rough idle
-
Weak combustion
