Looking for a conversion kit from points to electronic ignition.
Have not been able to find anywhere on line for a MF 230 4 cyl Continental Gas Engine
Anyone have suggestions?
 
It should be a Prestolite distributor, can you find any numbers stamped on the distributor housing, or a metal tag with some numbers on it. If you can find some numbers, and post every number you can find I maybe able to find out if a electronic conversion kit is available.
 

I didn't see any numbers or tags the last time
My Parts Book Gives a MF Part # of a
1047 026 M91 for the Distributor Assembly
 
A earlier distributor from a Continental Z145, AGCO part number 194059M91 (Delco-Remy #1112-644). The 1047026M91 part number is the Prestolite distributor. Look for a Delco-Remy 1112-644 from a MF 150 with the Continental Z145 engine (some 135's had the Z145, that distributor should work also). No conversion is readily available for the Z145 Prestolite distributor.

I am looking at modifying a Ford duraspark electronic distributor, and module from a 1980-1991 Ford Mustang with a 2.3L four cylinder engine to fit my Z134 instead of getting the Pertronix conversion. I pretty much have the distributor modifications figured out, it will use commonly available Ford parts. The only thing I use from the Delco-Remy is the distributor drive gear.
 
I have the Prestolite Distributor Part#1BT 4406 3K
I have been told the Delco will not work because of the gearing.
I am in need of a whole distributor now. The tach gear locked up and caused the distributor to pop up out of the engine.
I have been looking for the past 5 months with no luck.
Mallory was the only one to make a electronic ignition change over for the Prestolite I was told but now they were bought out by MSD and no longer make it.
All the part #'s I have
Prestolite # 18T 4406 3K
