Electronic ignition on a 47 flathead 6
Does anyone run an electronic ignition in their flathead 6? I have the 47 G series and as I was ordering parts, the guy suggested I may want to look into an electronic ignition.

Check w/Bubba's Ignition Service here on the 'Barn - he will know if there is a conversion for your setup.

No problem on the conversion , however it has got to be 12 volts.
The six volt thresh-hold are too low to work well.... Does it use the two bolt crab unit on motor side ???? |

Bubba, if that is you posting, I actually spoke to you on the phone about the ignition in a 47 Ford Flathead straight 6 after I posted this. Didnt come across your # until afterwards.

And the distributor is on the front of the motor.

Re: Electronic ignition on a 47 flathead 6
There may be a problem with the distr cap.....those 46-47 G series motors used an unusual cap that is no longer available. Unless a different cap/rotor can be fitted, I wonder how this would be completed.
