Putting the Muscle back into Classic Cars

Changing to Electronic Ignition

March 19, 2024

Allot of times we receive Classic Cars that still have the original points ignition system, however as this is a system that requires quite a bit of maintenance and doesn't deliver quite as strong a spark as more modern electronic ignitions our clients quite often want to upgrade to the more modern and reliable system.  The 60 Impala was no exception to this. The Chevrolet received a new 100Amp alternator, the original bracket was modified so that the new alternator could fit.  An electronic distributor and new leads were  fitted, allowing the motor of the 60 Chev run smoother and become more fuel efficeint.
