Can go beserk with a pair of sidecutters, a points file, and some plugs, creating better geometries etc.
My favourite was on my distributed vehicles, where I made a spark gap capacitor for the coil lead, with two concentric pieces of brass tube, held apart, and the lead broken, feeding into the centre, jumping to the outer, and across the the rotor button.
Idea was that there would be a cpacitive build-up until the gap broke down, and then a bigger spark (or so I thought)...grabbed the silly thing to move it out of the way when I was setting the timing...have NEVER had a bigger belt out of an ignition system.
