Hey guys
I'm looking for some advise doing an electronic ignition upgrade on a International B-414 tractor. I ordered the pertronix kit #1142 that is supposed to work with my model but noticed during install the magnet sleeve does not fit over the distributor shaft. The ignitor plate bolt holes don't match either. Unfortunately the sticker from my distributor housing is unreadable so i'm unable to verify the model #. Does anyone have any pics of their distributor I could visually compare to mine. Did this model of tractor have distributor issues causing owners to swap out for another model perhaps.
 
I had to trouble with the Pertronix kit with mine. Lucas 43D distributor.

I had two Pertronix 1442 go bad for me while just sitting in the shop w/less than one hour on them [same tractor,farmall h]. Pertronix replaced both,but havent tried the last replacement yet,allmost afraid to.
 
I'll go by my own experiences where I have some control over events like installation, use, etc. I've got six engines with Pertronix Ignitor kits. Four tractors and two outboard motors. Oldest install is 18 years old. Zero failures.
