Hi all, I attempted to search for some information on installing a FS ignitor module in a B distributor and couldn't find any.
Has anyone done this?
If yes please tell me how you mounted the module on the B upper plate.
Thanks,

Yes Herb, I have done it. I used Pam studs inserted from the bottom of the plate, nuts on top. That way the bottom surface is smooth where the spring contacts it.

Hi Dave, thanks for your reply. How did you determine the position the module on the plate so the timing would be correct?
Thanks,
herb

Herb, the location isn't critical, position where space permits, the timing is adjusted with the cam as "normal". The modules have different phasing, the one I am current using is very close. The magnet will only fit a stock A cam, but you may know that story.
