    Points vs EI

    Hello, Just wondering what you think of the EI kit from this site? Pertronix I believe. Is it a good brand and also how difficult was it to convert, how long did it take? Thanks for your response in advanced. Rick

    8N distributor copper ribbon

    Hello, Just wondering if there is any disadvantage to gettin rid of the copper ribbon in the distributor and hard wiring straight from coil through a small drilled hole?? Just askng because my neighbor just bought a '52 8N side mount set up this way. I have a '51 side mount with the original...

    2N Alternator

    As far as the alternator goes in case you do need to replace it....I can wager it came in the 12 volt conversion kit. I believe it is just a GM alternator and your local auto parts store can match it.

    2N Alternator

    I think I would do so more diagnostics before jumping to that conclusion and the trouble of taking the alternator off. It could very well just be your battery or even corroded terminals. First I would charge the battery back up and start the tractor. Once its started, with a volt meter check...

    Will 12 volt coil on a 12 volt conversion burn up points

    Wow...well this topic sure expolded!..haha. Well thank you everyone for all your help!. Well what I have done is eliminated the resistor from the dash, ran the wire straight to a new 12 volt coil, replaced the points and condensor and she fired right up and runs better than it ever has since...

    Will 12 volt coil on a 12 volt conversion burn up points

    Another question actually. Is there any advantage to switching to the 12 void coil like for starting, hotter spark, etc. Or shall I just keep the dash resistor and 6 volt coil? Again, I was under the impression that doing this burned up the points but doesn't seem to me to be using the full 12...

    Will 12 volt coil on a 12 volt conversion burn up points

    Changing to Electronic Ignition

    You seem to be the guy to ask....all these people who say get rid of that ballast resistor and 6 volt coil and go to a true 12 volt coil ( 12 volt conversion) I assume are referring to switching to EI as well ?? You can't use a 12 volt coil with points, correct??

    Will 12 volt coil on a 12 volt conversion burn up points

    I have a question for anyone who might know the answer! Ok here goes....I keep reading for a 12 volt converted 8n to get rid of the ballast resistor and 6 volt coil and go with the true 12 volt coil...however, won't a 12 volt coil burn up the points?? Obviously I haven't switched to EI yet..
