electronic ign. for an H

ALSO theres less moving mechanical parts to wear out ESPECIALLY over an outdated cumbersome limited energy Magneto Ignition with its mechanical spring wind n trip impulse assembly plus the usual points n condensor wear as on a distributor ignition. Its true you cant do a jury rig field fix if she stops like filing the points BUTTTTT TT once an electronic device burns in they can last a long timeeeee eeeee eeee. One magneto advantage, however, is they can start without any battery which that elec ignition sure requires

COIL NO you can use your existing coil BUTTTTT TTTTT to get the most bang for the buck that elec switch has to offer I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU MATCH IT UP WITH A COMPATIBLE HIGH ENERGY COIL (like a Flamethrower) to get a wider hotter higher energy spark to better ingiite the fuel. Since that high voltage high energy coil has the capacity to fire at higher voltages, you can increase the spark plugs gap (maybe 0.035 to 0.045 or so versus 0.020 to 0.030) to get that wider hotter spark mentioned above you cant get using the old stock coil. There is some advanatge even with the stock coil due to the faster n more positive coil current soild state switching versus mechanical burning n bouncing n ringing points n condensor buttttt ttttt you get more energy plus can run a wider gap if using the high voltage high energy coil.

So pay your money n now make your choice

I recommend switching to the high output flame thrower coil. I was able to increase my spark plug gap from 0.022 to 0.042.

Actually, Clemenceau was talking about Communism. But Communism and conversion to an electronic ignition system ''just because'' both appeal to me about as much.

Generally speaking, the older a tractor owner is, the more likely they are to stick with the original six-volt system rather than trash it because ''new, high tech stuff has GOT to be better than old stuff, right?''

Wisdom comes with age.

It's your tractor. Convert it if you must. But I don't think you'll see any improvement in reliability or performance to repay you for your cash outlay and efforts.

And, save the original parts. The next buyer might want them. Especially if he's an old guy like me.
