Ignitor Electronic Ignition Conversion Kit, 1244A

This thing works great. My tractor starts and runs a lot better.

What a impact. Tractor starts much easier and feels stronger. Exhaust fumes are significantly better as well.

Easy to install- 70+ year old 8n starts immediately every time - well worth the dollars spent

I ordered the Pantronix ignition through Amazon. When it came it only was in a padded envelope! The Pantronix box containing the electronics was crushed down in areas. Very poor packaging for such a expensive and delicate part. My only worry is, I hope it did not do any damage and shorten the life of it. It works well at this time, but I don't use the tractor a lot, so time will tell. Make sure you read the instructions! You can't use solid copper spark plug wires with this!!! Also, make sure you have the correct coil!! NOTE: You need a full 12 volts feeding this unit, and make sure there is not a resister in the line! I had a resister so I bypassed it. I also had to order a new 3 ohm coil, and I had to order plug wires. Works great, fires right up, better throttle response.

Good price fast shipping and worked perfect.

Used for Ford model 631 4 cylinder gas engine. Installed with new distributor cap, rotor button, etc. Also installed new pertronix 40,000 volt coil. Installation went well and ran fine for two months. Then engine would crank but would not start. Only guaranteed thru Amazon for 30 days. Went to Pertronix. Initially thought they were helpful. Had me check for excess heat, (Negative), Checked voltage on coil, (ok), check type of spark plug wires, I had standard stranded metal wire. Was told to replace with carbon spark suppression wires. IF I would do this they would issue an RMA and I could send the defective part back. They would test it and if defective would then send me a new part. I asked if replacing the wires would guarantee the new part would work an was told no, that there were many reasons the part could have failed. I have replaced the wires and will send the defective part back but feel this is a runaround. If I needed carbon suppression spark plug wires they should have specified this initially. Bottom line is that my tractor has sat for two weeks during the busy season.

I bought this for my 651 Workmaster. Being a child of the '80s, I never owned a car with points (not even my '72 Duster had them, though I can't remember if it had electronic ignition from the factory or if someone converted it when they swapped engines). I never set points in my life, so when my step-father gave me his tractor that he had owned for 42 years, I had very little knowledge about the ignition of a tractor that he had owned 4 years before I was born, let alone something that was new when Ike was still President. When he gave it to me, he had bought a new tractor and this one wasn't running well. I spent a lot of time trouble shooting and found that I was getting weak spark. I bought a points kit from the local dealer (plus a cap, rotor, plugs and wires) and put them in, but I just could not get it to run any better and at times not at all no matter how many times I tried to set the points by the manual, what the local dealer had told me and what I found online. It had also been converted to 12 volts a few years ago. I finally decided to take the leap and by this. I ordered these on a Friday and had them Saturday with Amazon Prime. I also bought this coil because it didn't know what one I had: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00199BO4C/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00. I had both installed in about 30 minutes and what a difference! It starts much fast then it used to and the spark is bright! I would highly recommend this if you have issues with points. I know there are some hard core tractor guys out there that would turn their nose up at electronic ignitors, but I wish I had done this sooner! The instructions were well written, but I did find a online video that Pertronix put out that showed how they went in just to make sure that I did it right. Save your old points and parts, you may need them someday and there is no modification to the distributor, so you can go back.

Don’t waste your money on the cheaper models. Buy once, cry once. Buy nice or buy twice. I bought a $50 one that was absolute junk and returned it. I bought this one and easily installed it and it works great. Would highly recommend over all the foreign-made garbage out there.

muy recomendado!

Employer sur mon tracteur 8N Ford, fonctionne très bien

I noticed the difference in the starting of the motor and it does run better. The company who makes this has a very easy web site to navigate and if you don`t find your motor they tell you to phone their technications and they will help you. Everything fit exactly in the old distributor.And it comes with easy to follow instructions.

Tracteur 1950 Ford 8n , le roulement du moteur est beaucoup plus doux , quand on engage la transmission le moteur réagit plus facilement et plus rapidement .

Excellent product, easy install with help from YouTube. Getting rid of the points was the best thing I could have done for this 1954 Ford Tractor. The difference now is massive, fast starting, better idling, better starting in cold weather.
