Electronic Ignition Conversion Kit
Replace Points with Zero-Maintenance Electronic Ignition
Set It and Forget It - 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, breaker points-based ignition system uses 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. Simple to Install.

The best investment you'll ever make for your vehicle
Saves precious ($$$) fuel
Coil with 3.0 Ohms or more internal, primary resistance required for 4- and 6-cylinder ignition kits.
Coil with a minimum of 1.5 Ohms primary resistance required for use with 8-cylinder ignition kits.
Measuring Coil Resistance (and more): www.Hot-Spark.com/Coil.htm
Requires a 12-volt, negative ground electrical system.
External Ballast Resistor: If the charging system voltage, measured at the coil's + terminal, is more than 13.9 volts at any RPM level, the voltage regulator likely needs replacing or a 1.7 Ohm ballast resistor should be wired between the coil's + terminal and the red Hot Spark ignition wire. Too much voltage can damage the ignition module and other electronic components.

VERY IMPORTANT -- BEFORE ORDERING: Some distributors of
vehicles, boats, etc. may differ, according to whether the stock distributor is
still in place or a replacement distributor has been installed. Some otherwise
similar or identical engines use different distributor brands and/or different
distributor part numbers. We need your distributor's brand name, distributor
part number and number of engine cylinders to ensure that the electronic
ignition conversion kit is correct one for your particular distributor.
If your distributor part number, normally found on the side of the distributor
body, is not among those listed on the relevant web page, chances are, the
Hot Spark ignition conversion kit won't fit your distributor.
It's imperative that we know your distributor's brand name, distributor part
number and the number of cylinders of your engine. You may need to remove the
distributor temporarily, so that you can read the distributor part number from
the side of the distributor body. Usually, the side of your distributor will be
covered with oil and dirt, so you'll need to clean it to find the distributor
brand name and exact part number.
We can guarantee only that each of our ignition kits will fit a distributor with
one of the distributor part numbers listed on its relevant web page. Otherwise,
it likely won't fit. Hot Spark ignition kits require a 12-volt, negative ground
(earth) electrical system.
If you order the wrong electronic ignition conversion kit for your distributor
or the wrong distributor,
you'll need to return it to us, via US Postal Service mail, within 30 days from
date of purchase. If the ignition kit is in perfect, unused condition, we can
accept it as a retuned item, within 30 days of purchase, and provide a refund to
your PayPal account, less a 20% restocking fee and any international shipping
fees, etc., but only if the ignition kit is in pristine, like-new condition. Buyer
is responsible for shipping and other costs to return the product for credit or
exchange.
