Electronic Ignition Conversion Kit
for
Prestolite 6-Cylinder Marine Applications
for 6-cylinder, Non-Vacuum-Advance Prestolite Distributors
Replaces Points and Condenser - Never Adjust Points or Timing Again!
THE TIME-TESTED ORIGINAL
High-Voltage Output*
The Hot Spark
electronic ignition conversion kit replaces breaker points and condenser in the
distributor to provide rock-solid reliability. With the Hot Spark electronic
ignition, dwell and timing are always spot-on accurate.
No matter how strong your engine is, you won't get the most
out of it without a good spark. The stock, breaker points-based ignition system
uses technology that dates back more than a century - to the Kettering system, which was
introduced in the 1910 Cadillac. Even though you can adjust breaker points for
standard ignition performance, they will burn and wear within a few
thousand miles, long before the recommended replacement interval. With points,
the timing will drift; power and fuel economy will suffer.
The Hot-Spark electronic ignition conversion kit delivers a
strong spark every time and is maintenance-free. You'll notice quicker starts,
more top end power and a little gas mileage boost. It's as easy to install as
points and condenser!
Advantages of the Hot-Spark electronic ignition conversion kit:
Replaces points and condenser with solid-state electronics
Set it and forget it - Never adjust points and timing again!

The best investment you'll ever make for your vehicle
Saves precious ($$$) fuel
4- and 6-cylinder engines: Coil with 3.0 Ohms or more internal, primary resistance required.
8-cylinder engines: Coil with 1.5 Ohms or more internal, primary resistance required.
Requires a 12-volt, negative ground electrical system.
External Ballast Resistor: If the charging system voltage, measured at the coil's + terminal, is more than 13.9 volts at any RPM level, the voltage regulator likely needs replacing or a 1.7 Ohm ballast resistor should be wired between the coil's + terminal and the red HotSpark ignition wire. Too much voltage can damage the ignition module and other electronic components.

The Hot Spark ignition fits only distributors that have points and condenser, NOT those with electronic ignition installed.

Please note that SAE J1171 and UL 428D are NOT distributor part numbers, but simply US Coast Guard standards that many completely different distributors meet. These numbers are of almost no use in determining which distributor you have or what ignition kit you need. Usually, the Prestolite distributor part number will be on the opposite side of the distributor body.
