Hello, Does anyone have installed 3 bolt electronic distributor? I found one that says distributor "ready-to-run" unit that does not require a control box. Where the truck is located there are not many spare parts for the original distributor, neither mechanics that know how to fix or calibrate it. What other options of ignition systems do you recommend for 12v? Happy New Year to all !
I have been running an MSD 3 bolt for 7 years. No issues. Expensive. Seen some of the cheaper units from China. Don't know much about them although I've heard some negative comments. Maybe someone with good luck will chime in.
WE just installed an electronic dist from Stromberg and didn't do a thing to it and runs super this is the 2nd one and so far so good just make sure you use the right wires. these were 12 volts systems
Thank you for the answers. What model and brand do you recommend? What about the following: https://www.speedwaymotors.com/1932-41-Ford-Flathead-3-Bolt-Electronic-Distributor,11999.html
https://www.stromberg-97.com/product-index/distributors/?cat=e-fire-3-bolt X2 on Stromberg E Fire, faultless.
Thank you all for the helpful advice. How can I check that the truck doesn't have voltage variations to avoid issues with the electronic distributor? What other considerations I have to check?
