normally buy here, is this an easy installation?(quoted from post at 21:12:39 03/29/15) This very site, our hosts, can fix you up with the same (Pertronix) stuff at s similar price.
If you are buying WHY not support them?
There are some of us who put the conversion at the level of a new set up breaker points that doesn't deteriorate or age.
Others say it performs SO much better and is the best thing since sliced bread.
Pretty much up to you, and the cost will buy a LIFETIME supply of breaker points with a steak dinner left over.
Just be aware there's a WORLD of difference between OEM or high performance EI's or CDI's and this basic unit that subs for a set of points.
I do have a 12v side mount, so what your telling me is just leave the point system in place and disregard the electronic ignition? I'm new to your tractor talk master someday I will to be a Jedi night.(quoted from post at 21:58:18 03/29/15) Braxie.........I hand built an electronic ignition fer my 1956 Dodge D-500 V-8 in 1962. I met the genius who developed the CD-ignition in Grand Junction, Colo in 1958. While I admire Pertronix and their kit (?) fer the 5-nipple side mount 8N, I ABHOR their kit for the 4-nipple front mount dizzy. And LASTLY, their kit don't sparkle well with 6-volt positive ground. It likes 12-volts negative ground.
You do know ittza 2-bolt 15-min job to remove the 4-nipple front mount dizzy and replace the points ($20, cheap) on the kitchen table, don't you? Just un-snapple yer capple and remove the 2-bolts and walk to the kitchen table. Install the points (0.015") and clamp a corner of a $1-bill between the points and pull to POLISH the INVISIBLE corrosion from between the points. Now walk back to yer tractor and finger start the 2-bolts. Puttchur rotor on and twist the rotor so the OFF-SET tang fits into the camshaft OFF-SET slot. Now tighten yer 2-bolts and re-snapple yer capple. Simple, eh? You can replace yer points every year fer 7-yrs the cost of i d oelectronic ignition. Generally, points will last at least 5-yrs before they need replacing. (fer the mathematically challenged, that 35-yrs of tractor operation) ..........HTH rethinking yer points problem........yer self-appointed sparkie-meister Dell
(quoted from post at 07:59:34 03/30/15) 150925547873 ebay has electronic ignition what's the pro's and cons they run about 140 or so.. hopefully this link will take you to it..
(quoted from post at 04:04:35 03/31/15) EI module likes full voltage.
You mentioned below you have a side mount and you have 12 volts.
So it depends on which coil you have. Some 12V coils require a resistor. Some do not.
I recently had to replace a 12V coil. Got one from Napa and it says right on the side, "no external resister required".
Look at your coil and see if you have any printing on it.
Post it here and maybe someone will recognize a part number and be able to tell you.
The easiest way (for us electrically challenged types) is to buy the right coil and eliminate the resister.
I plan on using the protronix high performance 12v coil so would I use the resistor?
(quoted from post at 06:00:52 03/31/15) Hobo, would u even consider EI on a 2N that is converted to 12 volts and running with only
the ballast resistor? Thanks
