12 V coil front mount dist.

MI-Bill · Aug 18, 2012

upgrading to 12V on my 1948 8N.. I would like to find the conversion piece that enables use of round coil. My 640 runs better after changing to 12 v coil (recommended on this site) that does not require an external resistor.

i've seen the pertronix kit that offers the front mount blank off to use a round coil.. you you can make your own with a blank block or gutted front coil.

no magic.. just a couple wire connections... and depending on how you go about it.. MAYBEE a change to the dizzy cap..

he Pertronix plate costs $100 when bought separate from the EI unit & still won't solve the problem for the fellow who wants to keep points, because it does not leave room for the condenser. You could move condenser outside. Attached are a few solutions & many exist, including Soundguy's carved wooden block.

line is below guts:

Just let you imagination run wild.
and one more nice on that Bob did. It requires condenser to be mounted outside distributor like the Pertronix adapter would.

yep.. plenty of ways to skin that cat.

I have since polyereothaned my wood block.. betweent hat and the epoxy i used.. she makes a good water proof non conductive block.

I'm gonna mock one up out of resin using a form/cast later this summer.. see how it turns out..
