Tommy Dat Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 Good evening, I am trying to upgrade my F10 to electronic ignition. I bought the Pertronix product but it did not fit. When I spoke to Pertronix they told me that they do not manufacture a compatible product for my distributor. Has anyone had success with this upgrade? Did you replace the whole distributor or use the conversion kit that fits inside the cap? What brand/model did you use? thanks Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 The '78 F10 used a form of EI distributor called the remote igniter. The electronics were in a box under the dash but if you find one you can use an HEI module from an old GM product to make it work. Any A series engine made for a '78-'82 210 will be EI distributor and coil with the '79 and up the preferred Matchbox type the '78 will be the remote igniter. 1 Quote Link to comment
