|
|
Has anyone had any experience with Hot-Spark ignition kits? They sell electronic conversion kits for $39.95 for both 009 and SVDA distributors. They also sell a SVDA distributor with electronic ignition for $119.95.
They are a lot cheaper than Pertronix, so I'm wondering about the quality... |

Points replacement?
All it does is trigger the coil. It won't make the spark any hotter with a new coil and/or box. _________________ Glenn

Glenn"s correct (as usual). These units eliminate the points, and therefore create a perfect dwell, since point gap is no longer an issue.
Hotter spark would have to come with a "box" such as an MSD or comperable. |

My next engine has this, it is not installed yet so thus the curve is not tuned yet. I will not be using TPS or map @ first. I will however have a fake TPS signal to move timming up and down on the fly without having to have my computer with me while I drive.
