As some may have read in my previous threads. I have a 60ESL71C 71 Johnson 60HP that was converted to Battery Ignition. (by previous owner down the line somewhere)
If anyone familar with such a conversion could answer a couple questions I have on what I am about to do.
1. I'm going to put in a new 12 volt coil with internal ballast resistor. Does that sound Ok?
2. Use a new condenser for a 1979 lincoln 429. (I read somewhere else someone used this condenser for a similar conversion) Any other ideas on a condenser? How do I know what condenser to use for sure?
3. Would such a configuration shorten my Breaker Points life?
4. Should I gap the points differenty from what the manual says if I'm converted to Battery Ignition? (manual says 10 gap , another place I read said his ran better at 20 gap with the battery ignition conversion at higher RPMs)
Thanks for an answer to any question above!
