Black Box to Red Box conversion
« on: April 17, 2013, 08:20:54 am »
I have 2 cars with black boxes. One with and one without vacuum. I had to replace a black box (vacuum) once already this season and as of the other night, it appears the new one went bad as well.
I am kicking around the idea of switching to the red box system. What parts do I need to change for this conversion?

Is this what I need to order & does it include everything I need?:

From my understanding and research I think I require these parts: Can someone please confirm
Blue ignition plate (with wires)
"Red Button" (timing)
Rotor
Red Box (with wiring harness)

I realize I can use my black coils for a bit after conversion, but am I on target with what I need to convert?

That is correct, the red box kit you are seeing is what you will need. When you do change coils I would also change plug wires.
