Doing some electrical upgrades and read the article posted on this site about upgrading to an electronic ignition but the author didn't mention a brand or part number for kit. I have the original Delco 1112555 distributor (which was discontinued decades ago) and 12 volts. Looking for a Delco cross reference or brands and part numbers for conversion kits. Any related advise is always welcome.
 
You'll need the Pertonix #1142 for 12v Neg ground and #1142P for 12v positive ground. I've had one on my 550 for over 10 years and have not had one problem with it. I also use the Epoxy filled coil to go with it at 40000 volts and because of the hot coil I've increased the spark plug gap to .035 for some extra snap.
Good luck with the install :) :) :)
 
I am looking to do the same, convert to 12v and electronic ignition. From what I read is that I need the ignition kit, new coil and new plug wires in addition to the alternator. Am I missing anything?
