I have successfully used the Pertronix unit to replace points in a few cars, costs about $65. takes about 1/2 hour. You could also build a transistorized ignition system from a kit by Velleman (BGmicro.com) You keep the points but they last for a very long time as most of the switching current goes through a transistor.
To convert the mechanical points and distributor in a 1972 Dodge Power Wagon W200 with a 318 engine to an electronic ignition system, follow these steps: First, remove the old points-style distributor and replace it with an electronic ignition distributor compatible with your engine. Next, install an electronic ignition control module, ensuring it's properly wired to the ignition coil and power source. Finally, adjust the timing as needed and verify that the system operates correctly by checking for a strong spark and smooth engine performance.
To convert a Chevy 230 engine from points ignition to an electronic distributor, you'll need to replace the existing points and condenser with a compatible electronic ignition system. This typically involves installing an electronic distributor designed for the 230 engine, which may require rewiring to accommodate the new system. Ensure that the ignition coil is also compatible with the electronic setup. Finally, properly set the timing according to the specifications for the new distributor to ensure optimal engine performance.
To wire up an electronic distributor for a 4Y Toyota 2.2 motor, first remove the old points distributor and ensure the new electronic distributor is properly installed in the engine. Connect the ignition coil’s positive terminal to the power source, typically the ignition switch, and the negative terminal to the electronic distributor's signal wire. Ground the electronic distributor to the engine block for proper function. Finally, ensure all connections are secure and verify the timing before starting the engine.
1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8 Distributor rotates counterclockwise.
electronic spark timing is your distributor.
The engine is not hitting on all cylinders or the distributor (electronic or manual) needs adjustment.
I don't believe a 1998 Regal, regardless of engine, will have a distributor. It will have an electronic ignition that outperforms any distributor of old.
Problem with the distributor engine tuning not constant after replacing new contact either engine will run low or higher that it will vibrate especially aircon on. Any recommendation to replace it with electronic distributor which can fit my Toyota ee90 engine?..
You look under the distributor cap.
NO, It is electronic ignition.
No, electronic ignition uses a sensor in the engine shaft that determines the pulses. This omits the distributor in exchange for electrical control.
If it has coil packs, you can't.
