Electronic Ignition Conversion Kit
for
Prestolite 8-Cylinder Marine Applications
for 8-cylinder, Non-Vacuum-Advance Prestolite Distributors
Replaces Points and Condenser - Never Adjust Points or Timing Again!
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, points-based ignition system used technology that dates back a century - to the Kettering system, which was introduced in the 1910 Cadillac. Even though you can adjust breaker points for near-electronic 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!

The best investment you'll ever make for your vehicle
Saves precious ($$$) fuel
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 1.4 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.

Please note
that SAE J1171 and UL 428D are NOT distributor part numbers, but simply US
government 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.
International Buyers – Please Note:
Import duties, taxes and charges are not
included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's
responsibility.
Please check with your country's customs
office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to

VERY IMPORTANT
-- BEFORE ORDERING: Some distributors of vehicles, boats, etc. may differ,
according to whether the stock distributor is still in place or a replacement
distributor has been installed. Some otherwise similar or identical engines use
different distributor brands and/or different distributor part numbers. We need
your distributor's brand name, distributor part number and number of engine
cylinders to ensure that the electronic ignition conversion kit is correct one
for your particular distributor.
If your distributor part number, normally found on the side of the distributor
body, is not among those listed on the relevant web page, chances are, the
HotSpark ignition conversion kit won't fit your distributor.
It's imperative that we know your distributor's brand name, distributor part
number and the number of cylinders of your engine. You may need to remove the
distributor temporarily, so that you can read the distributor part number from
the side of the distributor body. Usually, the side of your distributor will be
covered with oil and dirt, so you'll need to clean it to find the distributor
brand name and exact part number.
We can guarantee only that each of our ignition kits will fit a distributor with
one of the distributor part numbers listed on its relevant web page. Otherwise,
it likely won't fit. HotSpark ignition kits require a 12-volt, negative ground
(earth) electrical system.
If you order the wrong electronic ignition conversion kit for your distributor,
you'll need to return it to us, via US Postal Service mail within 30 days from
date of purchase. If the ignition kit is in perfect, unused condition, we can
accept it as a retuned item, within 30 days of purchase, and provide a refund to
your PayPal account, less a 20% restocking fee and any international shipping
fees, etc., but only if the ignition kit is in pristine, unused condition. Buyer
is responsible for shipping and other costs to return the product for credit or
exchange.
