Default 12 volt igintion conversion

Does anyone feel able to recommend a supplier for a conversion kit for the igintion on the Carrier? I need the adapter unit that sits on the top of the distributor and replaces the coil. I think it carries the HT pick up and condenser. Also required will be a bracket to hold a conventional coil. cheers Andrew

Default ignition conversion

Andrew you could try Jolley Engineering(they have adverts on milweb) people that have had it done seem very happy...although I believe its quite expensive....I would rather stick with the original method as if it con ks out Ill be able to get it going again in a fashion whereas with the electronic...forget it...cheers malcolm

Andrew,
My Cab12 F60L has had the origonal coil cut apart and removed from its baseplate and the HT lead leading from another more modern coil fitted neatly into that baseplate and sealed with pitch from the oil coil. Works very well and no need for a large expensive outlay and no other mods to the dizzy. The new coil lies along the chassis out of the way and out of sight.
Rick

Looking at your photos, you have a big generator. Is that not a 12volt genny?

thanks guys..Yes it is a 12volt generator but there should be a step down resistor to reduce to 6v for the ignition. Cant think why they would have done that! Anyway, all I am after is the adaptpr plate which pick up the HT and low tension and takes them to the distributor in place of the old 6 volt coil. will search a bit more on the net...
