Hello!

Got an oddball application for a Mopar sparkbox that I'd like to trigger using breaker points. I heard (somewhere?) that this can be done.

Can somebody help me out here?

Thanks,

Jeff

The only electronic ignition boxes I know of that will trigger from points are some early Toyota igniters like the one in my '75 Celica and many aftermarket ignition boxes that have a points trigger wire.

Well, I found this:

But I have not tried it, so.......

Great! Just what I wanted. Thanks, Rust Collector.

PS: I'm going to install it on a three cylinder Merc outboard motor.

well, I guess it is worth a try...but I won't guarantee it works.

have fun anyway

Dats veerd.

Jah, but der parts for dis motor ist expen$ive! Gott im himmel! A rotor (if you can find one) costs $200; a cap $150, and a spark box $400!

I used a Chevy (sorry!) marine distributor and common NAPA parts (a 6 cylinder cap and rotor) to make the 3 banger run. I'd lie to improve the spark AND get rid of the points, so... Per the article, the points last forever firing the Mopar black box.

OK, so what's the application?
