Hi people I know this subject has been done to death and I apologies in advance for asking these questions again, I have read the material in Holdenpeadia and this is very useful, I have two questions I would like to ask in relation to electronic ignition conversion for my 179.
The electronic. Dizzy I have is any early WB unit.
Can I use my existing coil with the electronic ignition up grade
I have an old school tacho do I have to up upgrade my tacho for the electronic ignition.
Thanks for any advice in advance.
coil
NO its the wrong type
you need a hec 716 the right coil to suit that distributor
there around $65 at bursons
the old coil is suited to a points type ignition system
tacho will be ok with new

Let me know how you go with
Let me know how you go with the tacho... I was under the impression the older tachos for point dizzys won't work with electronic ones. Or rather, they weren't supposed to be accurate. There was a thread on this....

CDI and Tachos
CDI is a problem for Tachos. You need a CDI with a Tacho Driver Connection.
A Tacho will fail if connected directly to the Coil with CDI due to the high Voltage the CDI delivers to the Coil Primary Circuit.
