Electronic Ignition in a Bosch Distributor
Posted: Mon Oct 07, 2019 4:39 pm
I have a Bosch distributor with the points and condenser riveted into a metal cup which slides down into the distributor housing. My car is loosing power when it warms up. I changed the coil and that didn't fix it . I think it may be the condenser that is bad. I bought a condenser, however, it appears as though the condenser is below a metal cover and attaches to the points with a metal band. The condenser I bought is round with a wire and "U" shaped connector. I was thinking about installing an electronic ignition but the ones that I have seen are mounted on a metal plate with one screw to attache it to the distributor. If I use the electronic ignition that I have seen available, I'm not sure how or where I should attach the electronic ignition plate, there is nothing below the metal cup and the metal cup is only about 1/32" thick so if I were to remove the points and condenser from the cup I am not sure how or where to attache it.
