I didn't pick this fight Dell.
You did by naysaying my recommendation that he convert.
The truth of it is that every time the topics of points vs EI or 6V vs 12V come up you weigh in with your "EZ starting 6V 8N" and your knowing "8 different ways to convert to 12V and every one of them work right the first time" and your tried and true method of taking a clean, crisp dollar and "wipe off the invisible corrosion between the points" and your "retired Boeing electronics engineer" stuff.
This time you just added the hyperinflated prices.
All of it is said to keep the newbie's tractor original and get him on your learning curve.
Now I will give you credit for being a good teacher and for your altruism in helping the folks who just want their tractors to run.
But I happen to think there is a better way for the electrically challenged and have been around here long enough to not care for some of the "prevailing wisdom".
I happen to think that more people would be better served by converting.
And I realize that $400 is a small sum for a spanking, modern electrical system - especially when we daily see how much dough some guys spend on their restovations.
So I voice my opinion - and invariably catch some flak for it.
Perhaps you aren't anti EI.
But you do your best to muffle anyone who advocates anything other than original.
And round and round it goes...

Today's Featured Article - What Oil Should I Use? - by Francis Robinson. I keep seein this question pop up over and over again in discussion groups all over the web. As with many things there are often several right answers and a few wrong ones. Some purist I'm sure will disagree to no end with what I will tell you but most of us out here in the real world don't really care do we ? Some of them only bring their noses down out of the air long enough to look down them anyway. If you are like me you are only doing this old tractor stuff because you enjoy it. You ...
