Review on πŸš€ FAST XR-700 Electronic Ignition Conversion Kit for 4, 6, 8 Cylinder Domestic Engines and VW/Bosch 009 Distributors by Roshan Schram

Revainrating 1 out of 5

A very affordable upgrade for older vehicles

If you haven't upgraded your ignition yet, what are you waiting for? It's pretty easy to install and get rid of the glasses. And if you ever want to get back to points, you can. A tip here: the instructions say to use the same hole to screw in the optical trigger that holds the tips. In my case this was absolutely not the case. And if you think about the length of a set of points, they are longer than the escapement, so naturally your machine will be out of time. Make sure your distributor is set to any time, say 12 degrees BTDC. You can use the LED display on the module to check the correct position of the optical trigger and, if necessary, drill a new hole in the feed plate. When I did this, my Corvair started and has been working great ever since.

Pros
  • More power and excitement in a sturdier package.
Cons
  • Fits
