Is the Ignitor™ a "universal" electronic ignition system?

The Ignitor electronic ignition is far from being universal. Each kit is designed specifically for the distributor type. However, our kits will often fit many distributors from the same manufacturer. A kit that has been designed for a particular distributor type may also fit other distributors that use the same point set, cap and rotor. For additional information .

Before you call have the following information ready:

• Distributors make

How difficult is it to install an Ignitor™?

The Ignitor fits entirely inside the distributor, and in most cases installs quicker than points. There are no “black boxes” or complicated wiring. Simply install the kit into the distributor attack the two wires to the appropriate positions, and you’re done. Some applications may require the distributor to be shimmed, which may add to the level of difficulty.
