The optical system is the old system that has a separate box outside the distributor with the works in it. The magnetic one is a hall effect system that fits inside the distributor. I have just fitted a Pertronix Ignitor Hall Effect system in my Lotus, and it went in with just three screws in place of the pints. I assume they do one for the 99. Got it for US$70 form Import Parts Specialists of Idaho; they have a web-site, as do Pertronix. I will do my 99 when I have finished the Lotus. -- Richard & Mary Sutherland-Smith 19 Webb Road, Wanganui New Zealand
