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.

centrifugal-advance -matter how strong your engine is, you won't get the most out of it without a good spark. The stock Hitachi 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!

Advantages of the Hot-Spark electronic ignition conversion kit:

No rubbing parts - nothing to wear out!
Fits completely under the distributor cap
Stealth modification - maintains stock appearance
Includes everything you need, no external ignition box required.
Works with stock distributor and coil
Encased in high-temp thermoplastic - protected from the elements and oil, grease, dirt, water, etc.
Never bother with points or condenser again!
The best investment you'll ever make for your vehicle
Saves precious ($$$) fuel
Coil with 3.0 Ohms or more internal, primary resistance required.
Bosch Black Coil is ideal for 4- and 6-cyl Hot Spark ignition kits.
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.

HotSpark ignition conversion kits fit only distributors that originally had points and condenser, not electronic ignition.

Replaces points and condenser - Never adjust points or timing again!

The points in your distributor must look exactly like the points in the above photos or the 3HIT4U1 or 3HIT6U1 ignition kit won't fit your distributor. If your distributor's breaker plate has an upright pivot pin remaining, after you remove the points, this ignition kit won't fit it. The points must be the type that are secured to the breaker plate by two screws. The above-pictured points are 1-piece, right-hand pivot pin points.

For original equipment Datsun/Nissan/Hitachi points-based (with single points, not dual-points) distributors only.

The 3HIT4U1 (4-cylinder) ignition kit's magnet sleeve fits distributor shaft lobes that measure 16.10 mm from flat edge-to-flat edge. A few Hitachi distributor shafts have a round extrusion or "bump," above the distributor shaft lobes, that prevents the magnet sleeve from being seated. In that case, you'll need to request a custom magnet sleeve that has the center hole enlarged:

Hitachi 4-cyl distributor with enlarged bump on distributor shaft requires a magnet sleeve with enlarged center hole.

Our Hitachi ignition kits fit distributors with single points only, not those with double points.

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 bidding/buying.

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 Hitachi 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.
