Does anyone make an electronic ignition conversion for the 42-48 style front mount distibutor ? I have seen that pertronics make a kit for the old 8N ford tractor, but can't seem to find anything for the V8. Thanks in advance
I recommend just buying the whole Mallory Unilite crab distributor- Works great, and you can paint the body black if it looks to billet-ish to you. There is a guy that converts the old dizzy's to electronic, but you have to send it to him and wait- It also costs quite a bit.
