I have a daily driver 1941 Ford pickup with the original 6 cylinder. It was converted to 12 volt when I got it and uses the original distributor with a voltage resistor. Water is effecting the distributor in the mornings of heavy dew and when I drive it in the rain. I want to go to electronics and get rid of the points and the voltage resistor, but can not find a source that can produce a electronic distributor for a 1941 to 1948 6 cylinder distributor. My best source in the past for ignition problems has been Jim at Bubbas Hot Rod Shop. I contacted Jim by email and he said for me to give him a couple of days and he would come up with one. It has been 2 weeks now and he does not respond to my emails asking about any progress. Heavy dew this morning and my truck won't start until up in the day. CAN ANY ONE HELP OR HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH THIS?
