Buying Ignition Parts for a 1968 Lotus Seven
On this vehicle, the ignition system delivers spark at the right moment — plugs, coils, wires, distributors and ignition modules.

- Read the notes on each row for position, trim and spec qualifiers before you order.
- Where labor overlaps, replace plugs and wires (or coil boots) as a set — one weak cylinder makes the whole set feel bad.
- Cross-reference the manufacturer part number against your old part or a service-manual listing.

Our catalog currently lists 12 ignition parts for the 1968 Lotus Seven across 2 subcategories and 9 brands, covering all 3 engine options (1.3L L4, 1.5L L4 and 997cc L4). Each part is matched to the engine(s) it fits.
Do ignition parts differ between 1968 Lotus Seven engines?
Yes. Every ignition part on this page is engine-specific. Each row shows which engine(s) it fits — use the filter at the top to hide the rest. If you're unsure which engine you have, check the emissions label under the hood or the 8th character of your VIN.
What are the signs of ignition problems on a 1968 Lotus Seven?
Common symptoms include misfires under load, rough idle, flashing check-engine light, or poor starting in damp weather. If you notice any of these, identify the affected subcategory above and cross-reference the part numbers listed.
What should I replace at the same time?
Where labor overlaps, replace plugs and wires (or coil boots) as a set — one weak cylinder makes the whole set feel bad.
What do the market flags (US, CA, MX) on each part mean?
They show the market for which the manufacturer published application data for that part — where the vehicle was first sold, not where the part was made. If your 1968 Lotus Seven was originally sold in the US, the safest choice is a part marked for the US market.
How do I make sure a part fits my 1968 Lotus Seven?
First match the engine — each row shows which engine(s) the part fits. Then gap matters even on “pre-gapped” plugs — verify against spec, and replace coil boots when they come off a high-mileage engine. The notes column carries position and trim qualifiers where they apply.
