I bought my first electronic ignition in 1966. It was a Delta Mark 10 
CDI (Capacitive Discharge Ignition). I drove it in various cars for 
many years and I love it and the idea of it. The CD ignitions use the 
OE points and the later models came with a switch that allowed for 
instant changover.

I don't like the current generation of in-the-dist electronic 
ignitions because they require a specially modified rotor to w­>çis means that a common repair part is no longer common. On the 
other hand I can't remember the last time I had a genuine Bosch rotor 
fail, if ever.

Does anyone know if the Delta CDI ignitions are still being made by 
anyone out there; the company was in Colorado.
