Jef-fro Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 Hey I just did a dizzy swap to get rid of my dual point distributor I bought the hot spark dizzy with the coil for 130$.It was a easy swap only 2 wires to reconnect and a slight mod to the timing plate . It already runs much smoother now and I haven’t even put a timing light on if yet Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 Curious what the resistance of the coil is. Quote Link to comment
Jef-fro Posted April 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 I kept the ballast resistor but they said that was optional with this coil Quote Link to comment
Jef-fro Posted April 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 3.3 primary resistance Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 Use without the ballast or use your 1.5 coil with the 1.5 ballast. So this answers if the spark is stronger or not. The 'hot' spark only gets rid of the points. A major upgrade in itself. Quote Link to comment
Jef-fro Posted April 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 Yeah nobody enjoys changing points constantly.only time will tell how long this setup will last but as of right now I’m happy with the results Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 Changing is a pain, we used to file them down too but then they have to be set correctly. As they wear down the timing changes toward retarded as the gap opens. They will probably last forever as there are no moving parts on it. Quote Link to comment
Ranman72 Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 i used to keep a spare set of points in the glove box as well as a piece of 600 grit sandpaper I changed a few sets on the side of the road running petronix now have had it since 2011 with no issues 1 Quote Link to comment
