Sounds like a great idea, Is there a kit available for a 62 413 with all the parts and who would sell it, NAPA?

I have nothing but good things to say about it. Granted, it is not 100% original under the hood but the only way to tell is by removing the distributor cap. Otherwise there is nothing visibly different. Plus I now have the piece-of-mind knowing that the car starts first time every time. For anyone having ignition problems, I can’t recommend it enough.

I had a 1966 Newport that died one morning. I went through all sort of trouble shooting and it ended up being a bad voltage regulator. The good part of this story is that I replaced everything in the ignition and the voltage regulator with modern stuff. I used the opportunity to install a Pertronix I electronic ignition. The car ran flawlessly for another ten years without a tune up after this! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brad Weikert" To: mailing-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: IML: 56 Ignition Problem Date: Wed, 7 Feb 2007 21:47:15 -0700 Well I certainly hope that fixes it for you. Strange that the coil would be fried, a bad condenser should not damage the coil. A good coil will act like it's bad if the condenser is not working but will work fine again once the condenser is replaced.
