Would there be any interest in a programmable electronic points replacer?
I know lots of you (including myself) like the simplicity of the original system. So i'd design something that was about 5 minutes work to swap back to how the model A should be.
While tinkering with electronic ignition i found i can make a very simple system for the model A with programmable advance. You could dial back the advance for high compression heads, or add a small potentiometer to the carb' for maximum fuel economy. A simple D.I.Y. device you too can make at home.
It could be as simple as a tiny box on the firewall under one of the coil fastener clamps.
Or if you have more resources you could make something that replaces the points cam (although i'd rather leave the points cam and make a points plate without points)
My current set up only works well on 9 or more volts.
So before i order parts online & hope they come (if i have spare time, hopefully i will, considering...)
