Radley- You can buy electronic ignition parts for a side mount distributor from Gennesee products, but for a front mount, you'll have to do some work. It is possible to do though. You'll have to machine down the cam lobes and bore out the magnetic ring so that it will fit on the cam, and then figure out how to phase it. I have done it and it works, but I have never gotten it "phased" correctly so that the timing is set as good as my points distributor. When I mount the front mount electronic ignition distributor, the tractor kinda has a little "putt ... putt" sound every now and then. I am still working on it though. The trick is how to phase it correctly. If you have access to a machine shop, and you have the desire, you can do it. I am not sure if it is really "worth it" though. Points are cheap and fairly easy to change.

Radley,
I don't believe such an animal exist's at this time. If everything in your elec. system is correct, and all moving parts in your dist. assembly are within tolerance, your points should live a long, long time. With I&T FO-4 manual in hand and assistance of this board, you too can achieve true front mount distributor enlightenment.(-;
