Description
Positive ground - Up to E-21007. Fits original distributors.
If your points look this this (click the link) then this is the correct electronic ignition.
When adding our early electronic ignition to your original early Metropolitan distributor you will want to make sure the shaft has minimal wear. Since this ignitor is a tight fit, and if your shaft has too much wobble, the rotor may hit the module. If that’s the case you can lightly sand the rotor or slightly enlarge the holes on the electronic ignition mounting plate to move it back. If your shaft has excessive wear this ignitor may not work for you and you’d have to purchase one of our new distributors.
You can tell in the installed picture that it does fit correctly with a good tight distributor shaft.
Replaces points, condenser, & low tension lead. When adding an electronic ignition to your original distributor you'll want to check, and replace if necessary; the spark plug wires, distributor cap, rotor, & spark plugs. Check the related items below.
The included grommet (that goes where the low tension used to) will need trimmed slightly when using on an original distributor.
When you combine value & ease of upgrade ignitors are probably the #1 thing you can do to upgrade your Metropolitan.
Points are a pain to constantly mess around with, although Pertronix ignitors are quite a bit more expensive up front they're a 1 time buy & a drop in replacement.
More reliable, better idling & performance will be noticed after installation. Ignitors deliver twice the voltage to the spark plugs, increasing horsepower, fuel economy, and spark plug life. 2:1 increased coil output & rotating cobalt magnets trigger a Hall Effect. Integrated circuit, no points to burn, no moving parts to wear out. Epoxy molding makes the module impervious to dirt, oil, grease, & moisture. Stable timing - no need for any adjustments.
Manufacturer warrantied for 30 months. 2 different styles of connectors for different coils & detailed instructions are included.
