Why?
Please Note: Most Morris Minors were originally fitted with a dynamo and for motoring this is adequate. However, if you spend a reasonable amount of time driving in the dark, in slow moving traffic and have ancillary components, for example, heated rear screen, powerful radio, halogen headlamps, then an alternator will help make your vehicle more reliable for the following reasons: A dynamo’s maximum output is 22 amps. A normal vehicle with headlamps, wipers and heated blower on will demand approximately 18 amps. Therefore leaving a cushion of only 4 amps to sustain the battery, whereas an alternator, on tick-over will produce 28 amps, more than enough to deal with existing demand and also additional demands, such as halogen headlamps, heated rear screen, powerful radio. Also, batteries tend to last longer if they are kept fully charged and an alternator is best at doing this.

This is a very effective and practical improvement. It provides either constant on or 10 second delay. It is also available as a kit with full fitting instructions.

11) ELECTRONIC IGNITION
This is a very popular upgrade. It is very common for the points on a standard Morris Minor to close up, causing misfiring, poor timing and sometimes even a breakdown. Because the electronic ignition replaces the points and condenser, this will increase the overall reliability of your Morris Minor.
