I have written up a little guide about the britpart electronic ignition module.
This is the kit - www.mm-4x4.com/britpart-electronic-conversion-kit-2721-p.asp
I was having terrible running problems with point and condenser so i got the Britpart kit chucked it in and it didn't miss a beat until the engine head gasket went .
That was for about 9 months , would deffo recommend it.
This offers a good reliable and maintenance free way of getting rid of ghastly points.
It works by using a ring of magnets that are on the rotor arm supplied with the kit passing the module that fits where your points and condenser sit, the rotor arm can only fit in a certain pisition and the magnets represent the lobes on the rotor
This is how you go about fitting it ,,,,,,
- Remove battery connections ,
- Take off distributor cap
- Remove points plate from distributor ( take care of the small wire that earths the points and condenser )
- Remove points and condenser from plate
- Attempt to fit the britpart module (you will see the pin that you will have to file back or bend out of the way , personally i would file it away as there is a good chance you wont be going back to points and condenser anytime soon)
- With the pin out of the way use the white grease supplied with the kit to coat the backside of the module ( where it meets the plate )
- Then fix the module to the plate tightly ( dont forget to pu the small earth wire back between the plate and the module.
-Refit the plate into the distributor ( connect the other end of the small earth wire to where the plate screws to the distributor )
- Heat up the rotor arm supplied in warm water for 10 mins ( this is so it expands and dose not snap when you push it over the rotor , mine did as it was so cold the arm had gone brittle it snapped and the magnets fell out.
- Whilst the rotor arm is getting warm you can asses weather you have ballast or unballast ignition , if you have ballast you will have to run a 12 volt feed from the fuze box to the red wire on the module , and the black wire on the module goes to the black terminal on the coil ( if you have unballast ignition you can use the red wire feed from your coil and black wire from coil ), i will not go into detail on unballast and ballast ignition as it is confusing .
- Put the nice hot rotor arm on
- Replace distributor cap
- And start it up!
You may benefit from setting your ignition timing after this
Hope this helps
