Just put electronic ignition on my ’66 PA-30 during my November 2018 annual. Still feeling it out but I am super happy with the perceived benefits. Starts quickly and easily both cold and hot. The spark it puts out is supposedly 30% hotter and 3 times longer. I have fine wire plugs and they had to be gapped much wider to handle the higher voltage and bigger spark. When doing mag checks I don’t have any drop in RPM when you turn off the remaining mag. It automatically adjusts the timing when climbing so it is much more efficient at altitude. I also added GAMI’s and also happy with them. Much more level EGT’s and experimenting with Lean OF Peak now. Anyone else add either of these items? Would love to here how you like it.
