Default Electronic ignition

Does anyone make a 6 volt electronic ignition for a 36 helmut distributor?

The helmet distributor can be converted to electronic using a Pertronix module. Here's a link: http://oppositelock.kinja.com/pertro...lat-1602560579

FWIW, I ran a Pertronix conversion on my '40 for about five years until it died one afternoon without a whimper. Went back to breaker points, and really haven't noticed any difference in performance. As the saying goes, "Points will get you home."
