Replaces Points and Condenser - Never Adjust Points or Timing Again!
The Hot-Spark electronic ignition conversion kit replaces breaker points and condenser in the distributor to provide rock-solid reliability. With the Hot-Spark electronic ignition, dwell and timing are always spot-on accurate.
No matter how strong your engine is, you won't get the most out of it without a good spark. The stock Bosch ignition system used technology that dates back a century - to the Kettering system, which was introduced in the 1910 Cadillac. Even though you can adjust breaker points for near-electronic ignition performance, they will burn and wear within a few thousand miles, long before the recommended replacement interval. With points, the timing will drift; power and fuel economy will suffer.
The Hot-Spark electronic ignition conversion kit delivers a strong spark every time and is maintenance-free. You'll notice quicker starts, more top end power and a little gas mileage boost. It's as easy to install as points and condenser!
Advantages of the Hot-Spark electronic ignition conversion kit:
Replaces points and condenser with solid-state electronics
Set it and forget it - Never adjust points and timing again!
Zero maintenance
Delivers far more voltage to the spark plugs than points-based points
Reliable Hall-effect technology
Never gets out of adjustment
Rock-steady reliability
Dwell and timing are always spot-on accurate
Increased gas mileage, fuel economy
Quick starting
Smooth idling
Cleaner emissions
Longer spark plug life
Longer engine life
Cleaner engine oil due to less unburned fuel
Longer interval between oil changes
Easy to install - If you can install points, you can install the Hot-Spark electronic ignition conversion
No points to wear, burn, pit or corrode
No condenser needed
Absolutely no points float - zero - even at redline RPM and beyond!
Never worry about drifting dwell or timing again
No rubbing parts - nothing to wear out!
Fits completely under the distributor cap
Stealth modification - maintains stock appearance
Includes everything you need, no external ignition box required.
Works with stock distributor and coil
Encased in high-temp thermoplastic - protected from the elements and oil, grease, dirt, water, etc.
Never bother with points or condenser again!
The best investment you'll ever make for your vehicle
Saves precious ($$$) fuel
4-cylinder: Stock Bosch coil with 3 Ohms or more internal, primary resistance or HS34HEC high-energy coil required.

Determine whether your distributor has 1-piece or 2-piece
points, as older (pre-1968 or so) Bosch distributors typically have 2-piece
points. If it has 2-piece points, a pivot pin will remain, standing up from the
breaker plate, after you remove the points. Also, compare the points in your
distributor to the photo of points above, to determine whether it has left-hand
or right-hand points.
Note: Some BMW 2002 cars have a distributor with left-hand pivot pin points (JFUR4). The 3BOS4U1 will fit only distributors with right-hand pivot pin points (JFU4). If your 4-cylinder distributor has 1-piece, left-hand pivot pin points, order the 3BOS4U2L. Please compare the points in your car's distributor with the points in the above photo before ordering and attach a memo to your PayPal payment, indicating whether your distributor has left-hand (3BOS4U2L) or right-hand (3BOS4U1) points.

Heavy-duty, high-energy coil with extra turns of copper wire in the
secondary windings for as much as 45,000 volts to the spark plugs - more turns
of copper wire than other standard-sized canister coils.
Application:
Ideal for 4-cylinder distributors. Provides more primary resistance to protect from
overheating due to high-voltage or high-temperature environments.
Designed specifically to produce maximum spark
when used
with Hot-Spark red electronic ignition conversion kits
(red ignition module). Also excellent for points-based
distributors - high primary resistance helps reduce points burning, pitting.
Epoxy-filled
canister (not oil-filled) to withstand high-vibration
environments
