Ok so I've obsessed over the ignition system on my 8n and I've determined that I'm not entirely against going electronic with the sad state of points manufacturing quality control.
I have some experience with the Ford TFI systems used in late 80s and early 90s trucks and cars. They are dirt simple to wire and do not require a hall effect sensor to be integrated. This means the stock points system can be retained, and that the points just act as a trigger for the module. Increases longevity, decreases wear and maintenance.
They're cheap, easy to find at any parts store, and if they fail in the field you still have your mechanical breaker system in place. Only modification is see being necessary is to get a wire lead off the grounded side of the square coil. Everything else remains stock.
I did not see where anyone has done this yet. Thoughts?
