Hi Guys,

Apart from being non standard, any comments or experience re a 6 volt 28 Chev with a 635B converted to electronic ignition. Apart from no maintenance should one expect any better engine running for an investment of around $200.

I am not madly keen on the idea, just thought I would ask the question.

Cheers

Ray


Some say "Street is neat". I prefer "1928 is great"

I have documented my 45 years with a 1928 Chev Tourer, from 1973 to 2018, and regulary add other items that I hope are of interest to others. Your comments are most welcome.The story of the Red Chev can be viewed at http://my28chev.blogspot.com/

I seriously doubt you will notice any difference in the way the engine runs though it possibley might start slightly easier. I dont think it a wise $200 investment.

I have run an electronic ignition modified 635B distributor in my '28 Coupe for several years. Have not had any problems with it but always carried a separate distributor with points just in case the electronic one quit. Can't say if it give quicker starts or better performance as it is hard to compare accurately without sophisticated test equipment and consistent conditions.


How Sweet the roar of a Chevy four!
