[T3] 6 VDC to 12 VDC (more)



I spoke with Compu-Fire,  http://www.compufire.com/
and was told that their VW drop in module to replace distributor points has worked successfully for others with 6 VDC systems.

I'm gonna give it a try.

If it turns out that I should have problems with the lower 6 VDC not properly triggering the switching components in the module, I can always use a 6 VDC to 12 VDC conversion module http://www.antiqueautomobileradio.com/ ahead of the module, and between it and the #15 Coil terminal so as to properly feed 12 VDC to the module triggering circuitry.

Not knowing just exactly what I will get from the DC voltage conversion module in the way of output purity, I think I will rig up a test stand so as to be able to allow me to check the 12 VDC output on an oscilloscope.

Now, with all these grand ideas in my brain, watch the dern module, for whatever reason, not fit inside a stock 1964 dizzy.
