Electronic 21a Distributor
 

I picked up a 21a distributor rebuilt by Bubba with an electronic pickup installed in it. How do i tell if it is for a 6 or 12 volt system?

Its a 12 volt pertronixs ( i hate 6 volt electronics ) works great with a bosch coil , #00012 Bosch b amazon ..............
Heres the deal on six volt electronics they dont work well and have a 6 volt to 7.2 volt threshold ............12 volt runs from 9.6 to 14 .2 larger buffer ...... Wanr six volt leave it points !!!!:eek::eek::eek::confused::confused:
