What type of ignition coil should I use with this electronic distributor?

This electronic distributor requires either an ignition coil that has internal resistance or an external resistor installed between the coil and the distributor. Using the wrong coil type can affect performance and potentially damage the components.

Does this distributor come with all the necessary hardware for installation?

The manufacturer description states that installation instructions are included. It is designed as a direct fit replacement, but it's always a good idea to check the included parts against the instructions to ensure all necessary mounting hardware is present before beginning installation.

What is the benefit of an electronic distributor over a points-style distributor?

Electronic distributors offer improved reliability and reduced maintenance compared to points-style systems. They eliminate wear-prone points and condensers, leading to a more consistent spark and fewer adjustments needed over time.

Product Details

This electronic distributor from Omix is built with solid-state internals, a significant upgrade over the original points-style ignition systems found in 1954-1965 Willys trucks and station wagons. If you're working on a Willys equipped with the 226 cubic inch Super Hurricane engine and a 12-volt electrical system, this unit replaces the troublesome points and condenser setup, offering a more dependable spark. It's designed as a direct fit replacement, aiming to make installation as straightforward as possible for these classic vehicles.

The move to electronic ignition means fewer moving parts to wear out and adjust, which translates to a more consistent performance over time. For proper operation, this distributor requires either an internally resisted coil or an external resistor placed between the coil and the distributor itself. Omix is known for making well-built replacement parts that meet or exceed factory standards, and this distributor comes with a limited 5-year warranty, giving you confidence in its longevity and reliability for your classic Willys.
