Default Re: GMC V-6 ignition question

George,
I'm planning on going the road less traveled with electronic ignition conversion. Pick an existing module (ford tfi remote mount looks like a plan) and use the points to trigger it. The current across the points will be so small they should last indefinitely. One plus of this plan is simple conversion back to points as the primary switch if the electronics fail. I used to use a bench setup of this kind to demonstrate electronic ignition to students. I won't take credit for actually applying to old cars though, got the info from the H. A. M. B. Forum. I'll post a build report when I get around to building it. I also have a couple of tractors that I want to convert.
Bob
