Electronic Ignition Conversion Kit

for the following vehicles with

4-cylinder and 6-cylinder Hitachi (points-based) Distributors:

(for 12-volt, negative ground electrical systems only)

 

    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.

   centrifugal-advance -matter how strong your engine is, you won't get the most out of it without a good spark. The stock Hitachi 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!

• Replaces points and condenser with solid-state electronics

• Set it and forget it - Never adjust points and timing again!

• Zero maintenance

• Delivers far more voltage to the spark plugs than points-based points

• Reliable Hall-effect technology

• Never gets out of adjustment

• Rock-steady reliability

• Dwell and timing are always spot-on accurate

• Increased gas mileage, fuel economy

• Quick starting

• Smooth idling

• Cleaner emissions

• Longer spark plug life

• Longer engine life

• Cleaner engine oil due to less unburned fuel

• Longer interval between oil changes

• Easy to install - If you can install points, you can install the Hot-Spark electronic ignition conversion

• No points to wear, burn, pit or corrode

• No condenser needed

• Absolutely no points float - zero - even at redline RPM and beyond!

• Never worry about drifting dwell or timing again

• No rubbing parts - nothing to wear out!

• Fits completely under the distributor cap

• Stealth modification - maintains stock appearance

• Includes everything you need, no external ignition box required.

• Works with stock distributor and coil

• Encased in high-temp thermoplastic - protected from the elements and oil, grease, dirt, water, etc.

• Never bother with points or condenser again!

• The best investment you'll ever make for your vehicle

• Saves precious ($$$) fuel

• 4-cylinder distributors require a coil with 3.0 Ohms or more internal, primary resistance or HS34HEC high-energy coil.

• 6-cylinder distributors require a coil with 1.5 Ohms or more internal, primary resistance or HS17HEC high-energy coil.

• Requires a 12-volt, negative ground electrical system.

Replaces points and condenser - Never adjust points or timing again!

The points in your distributor must look exactly like the points in the above photos or the 3HIT4U1 or 3HIT6U1 ignition kit won't fit your distributor. If your distributor's breaker plate has an upright pivot pin remaining, after you remove the points, this ignition kit won't fit it. The points must be the type that are secured to the breaker plate by two screws. The above-pictured points are 1-piece, right-hand pivot pin points.

For original equipment Datsun/Nissan/Hitachi points-based (with single points, not dual-point) distributors only.

The 3HIT4U1 (4-cylinder) ignition kit's magnet sleeve fits distributor shaft lobes that measure 16.10 mm from flat edge-to-flat edge. A few Hitachi distributor shafts have a round extrusion or "bump," above the distributor shaft lobes, that prevents the magnet sleeve from being seated. That raised lip must either be machined down on a lathe or the magnet sleeve won't fit that distributor.

Our Hitachi ignition kits fit distributors with single points only, not those with double points.

For:

• 4-cylinder Hitachi distributor - 3HIT4U1

• 6-cylinder Hitachi distributor - 3HIT6U1
