Dont even think about any type of electronic ignition for your original 6 volt 34 flathead. The original twin points distributor is an excellent and reliable unit. You say you have spark at the plugs so why the concentration on the ignition system ? Spark plugs have not been mentioned and can be troublesome with modern fuels. Recommend you fit NEW plugs and run fresh fuel. Old plugs do give quite a bit of trouble especially on starting. Regards, Kevin.
