Buying Ignition Parts for a 1962 MG Magnette
On this vehicle, the ignition system delivers spark at the right moment — plugs, coils, wires, distributors and ignition modules.
- Match the engine first. Some ignition parts fit every engine; others are engine-specific. Each row shows which engine(s) it fits.
- 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.

Notes on this page include pre-set gaps of 0.025", 0.026", 0.035" and 0.039". Still verify against spec — even “pre-gapped” plugs should be checked before they go in.
What should I replace at the same time?

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 1962 MG Magnette 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 1962 MG Magnette?
