Electronic Ignition Kits For Older Tractors

Electronic Ignition Kits For Older Tractors TRACTORS Antiques 22-1-31 "Our new electronic ignition kit for older model tractors allows gas to be burned more efficiently and eliminates the need to change points," says Jim Lee of CBS Performance Automotive, Colorado Springs, Colo. The "Ignitor" is a bolt-on module that replaces the points in the distributor. A magnetic sleeve slides onto the distributor shaft and onto cam lobes that would normally trigger the points. As the distributor shaft spins, the magnets trigger the module to let it know when to fire. "It increases the tractor's horsepower by burning a greater percentage of the gas," says Lee. "Points often misfire which causes inefficient burning of the gas and a drop in power. Our electronic ignition kit, on the other hand, remains at a constant 100 per-cent of whatever the coil can produce. The magnetic signal penetrates any dust that may be in the gap. The components are completely sealed against moisture, grease, dirt, and oil. "The unit is designed for tractors made after 1965 equipped with 6-volt distributors." Units designed for Deere tractors sell for $99 while ones designed for International tractors sell for $109. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, CBS Performance Automotive, 2605-A W.
