In this 33-minute instructional video, Kent will show you how to convert your old points ignition to an efficient modern electronic ignition. Rid yourself of those old high-maintenance distributor points forever. This is based on installing our complete conversion kit ( including coil and ballast resistor upgrade) into a 1972 300SEL 4.5. The video is included free with the kit purchase ( see related products below). Please watch the YouTube video that follows to help understand what is involved and why you would want to convert.
