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, points-based 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:

-
The best investment you'll ever make for your vehicle
-
Saves precious ($$$) fuel
-
Coil with 3.0 Ohms or more internal, primary resistance required.
-
Beru Germany Blue Coil is ideal for HotSpark ignition kits.
-
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 14.0 volts at any RPM level, the voltage regulator likely needs replacing or a 1.4 Ohm ballast resistor should be wired between the coil's + terminal and the red HotSpark ignition wire. Too much voltage can damage the ignition module and other electronic components.
