[QUOTE="mcbputter, post: 101379, member: 15638"] Hello to all, I'm new to the forum and know I'll enjoy all the information that is out there regarding my old machine. Let me start by saying that I know just enough about engines to by dangerous, in other words not a lot! but I do have a team of buddies that are somewhat knowledgeable. I have a Bobcat 632 that I believe is a 1982 but could be a 1980 or 1981. It has a Ford 1.6 liter engine that I have seen in this forum is most likely an Escort engine, maybe a Pinto? I want to switch over to an electronic distributor and I actually order a Pertronix from Summit Racing but I order the wrong one. I need a vacuum advance and this has a mechanical advance. Just got off the phone with them and they are going to do some research and get back to me. The existing distributor has the vacuum advance on the side and I'm assuming I will need to put in a new electronic distributor with the same set up. Has anyone changed their machines to electronic? If so what is the best way or what did you use. Thanks! Mark [/QUOTE]
