    Are these a standard unit or made to suit particular distributors?
    Would it be possible to fit one to Ferguson petrol tractor distributor?

    The one I fitted to my Rover P6 was a Crane Cams and involved a rather straight-forward fitting of electronic bits into the space where the points used to live. My kit had parts to suit a 6 cyl. or 8 cyl. engine and is completely reversible; in fact I used to carry the points etc. in the boot in case the electronics ever failed, which they didn't.

    Get one for Fergie

    Cheers Charlie

    Just remember that these aftermarket "electronic triggers" are not full High energy electronic ignitions.
    They are just a replacement switch for the points. the Crane,Luminition and AFAIK pertronics cannot be fitted with a HE coil or they last for about Oh 3 seconds.
    Ask me how I know. Loooong Looong ago, I had a Luminition and rang the Distributor and asked if I could fit an electronic coil to get more volts. the pimply faced and lazy youth said OK but its not recommended.

    So I thought I would try it. After having to order a new one , opened the box and in BIG PRINT was stated "NOT TO BE FITTED WITH AN ELECTRONIC COIL UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES"

    Best How to fit EI to red motor guide on the web

    Hi Nelsonian, I don't know if you have found and fitted your ignition already but if not, here is a link to a step by step tutorial on how to do it.

    (Just checked the date of the original post rather than the last reply and it would be a good bet that this one is done. Link is useful for anyone with a points dissy in their red motor though)

    I followed this to convert my HZ Kingswood and the difference in ease of starting, general performance and how well it maintains tune is fantastic.

    Blue Electronic Ignition Installation

    It covers the mechanical and electrical aspects and it will help you to get the job done.

    Yes, it is a stand alone box that uses the points as a trigger. You get better starting and performance with the electronic box in circuit, but WHEN the electronics fail you can shift over a couple of leads and run on Kettering points and coil ignition. I use the big print WHEN as in my experience with electronic ignitions since 1971 the bloody things do fail, instantly and irrevocably. I do not regard all-electronic vehicles as suitable for outback and remote area use.
