Points to electronic ignition

Post by SinDiesel » Mon Apr 10, 2017 3:30 am

Has anyone ever converted the points in their mites waterproof distributor to an electronic ignition? I vaguely recall seeing some generic kits some years back that could be used for this, I believe it was maybe a PEI kit? If anyone has done this upgrade can you provide some insight from your experience?

Thanks

Not sure but the 24 volt may be more difficult to convert. This may be a long shot but were the late/last of the M151A2s point and condenser ignitions or electronic??? If they were electronic then the conversion would be a piece of cake as they both use the same lower distributor housing from the shaft up.
