I have a Lucus Dist from a 1977 MGB with electronic pick-up(no points) also The Spit has a CEI box mounted next to the clutch/brake box. There are two white wires coming from the CEI box (been cut off) do they go to the dist or ?Where do they hook up?

You may want to post this over in the MGB forum - perhaps Jeff Schlemmer or others will help and may not be looking in the off-topic forum....
