All T25's (petrols) had electronic ignition as standard.. and it works very well.. If you have points, its eithe a beetle/bay dizzy or an 009 (which aint the greatest and need carefull setting up as they have an inherent design problem)

I am sure there is a member or 2 on here with the correct electronc "CT" dizzy, they will part with..
