Hi all - after reading through all of the posts here, I have gathered that it might be possible to fit a standard kettering ignition if the CDI dies and no replacement is available. I am guessing that the surface discharge plug will have to be retired and replaced with 'normal' protrusion type plugs due to the lower voltage. i have a mid 70's 90HP Chrysler that someone has attempted to retrofit this way, but I see that they forgot to fit a capactior/condenser across the points.
I plan to use a transistorized Ignition with an automotive coil.
Does anyone have any suggestions for the type of plug I should use and any other things i need to think about? As mentioned in another of my posts, i have recently acquired 5 Chrysler engines and would like to get them all going - as soon as I get a block and tackle in my garage to lift them onto brackets so i can work on them!
