Hi all,

I just got the kit to convert an 1986 points ignition to an

electronic
ignition. Its a prestolite system on a V8 chevy 350. Has anybody

done this
conversion and did you have any issues.

thanks,
mark


Mark,

I did it years ago to the two engines in my old boat. I did run into a
problem on occasion where the engines would run poorly after a long
run. I had a mechanic work on it and all he did was add ballast
resistors, apparently I was getting a voltage drop when it got hot. It
made the problem go away, even though Prestolite said they weren't.

John
