Ignitor Electronic Ignition Conversion Kits have proven themselves in applications ranging from race cars to tractors. It is the number one Electronic Ignition Conversion Kit to replace original mechanical points. A Pertronix Points Conversion kit allows you to run a stock distributor while improving the reliability and performance of your ignition system. The Pertronix Ignitor kits simply bolt to the distributor in place of the points assembly and provides a much more accurate trigger signal. This improves the timing accuracy and prevents ‘points bounce’ at higher rpm. The electronic technology also improves the dwell control to improve the spark output of the coil resulting in a hotter spark at the spark plug. With this dependable, self-contained, maintenance free electronic ignition system you'll never replace your points again.

The Wisconsin VF4D engine has what is called a flat crankshaft which requires an odd-fire cam lobe in the distributor. This cam lobe has a larger unique shape and the lobes are not spaced at 90 degree intervals. The mounting plate for the 1545 ignitor is also incorrect for this application and the magnet ring that should slide over the cam lobe is too small. However, Pertronix is what I consider to be the premier points & condenser replacement unit on the market, thus the 5 star rating despite the fitment error.

had a boat that a previous owner had modded the distributor with this electronic ignition module. During maintenance on the boat, somehow shorted the one had out. Checked part number and ordered this and direct fit. Ran the boat 2 seasons and no issues. Just now getting the review written. Beware tho, does not take to much to blow these out! I have since added a 5amp fuse wired to the module for protection.

3 years ago I replace the point set in my old Onan standby emergency generator with this unit. I saw an immediate Improvement in starting time and it ran for smoother. About a year later the generator would not start and it was traced to the failure of this electronic part. I replaced it and it ran perfectly for another year at which time it again failed. I replaced it again and this time I am going to use one of their coils instead of what should be a perfectly adequate coil from an auto parts store. I guess we'll see in another year.

Item was listed as NEW and I received a USED item with grease all over it, scoring on all of the bolt holes(previously installed apparently), chaffing of the wires, AND the wires are cut down to 3" long with no grommet there anymore!!
