GM HEI (High Energy Ignition) Electronic Ignition Installed In Ford Tractor

GM HEI (High Energy Ignition) Electronic Ignition Installed In Ford Tractor TRACTORS Accessories 31-2-36 John Veneziano, Olmsted, Ohio: "I installed a 12-volt GM HEI (high energy ignition) electronic ignition in my 1951 Ford 8N tractor. It works great and eliminates the points. Kits are available for just about any type of equipment and distributors. You get better starts and easier maintenance. Just search up æhigh energy ignition' kits on the internet and you'll find them." Doug McAlexander, Cedar Grove, Tenn.: "Here's a tip if you need a long lasting gasket. I had a problem with a gasket on an older IH tractor with an ether start booster. The gasket was bad and replacements kept going bad, too. So I cut one out of an All-Flex cattle ear tag. It worked great. They're tough, pliable and made to stand up to lots of abuse. Later, I needed a washer on a bathtub faucet and I used an ear tag for that, too. Worked great."
