Powerspark Electronic Ignition explained in more detail:
The kit uses a simple magnetic trigger and optimises dwell to provide a reliable and consistent spark across the rev range. It is easy to install and maintenance free.
Each kit comprises a baseplate with electronic module, trigger ring and all wiring. The new electronic baseplate mounts exactly where the points and condenser baseplate sat. The kit connects directly to the coil using the wires provided, red to the positive side and black to the negative side. The ignition kit will automatically shut down if the ignition is left switched on without the engine running to prevent component damage.
Powerspark Electronic Ignition Kits are designed to work with a coil resistance above 1.5 ohms, typically 3.0 ohms. Some performance coils operate at a lower resistance and will need the High Energy electronic ignition kit.
Full fitting instructions are included with your kit, and plenty more instructions can be found on our blog
Pre Installation Checks
- Please ensure you have a negative earth car if you have the negative earth kit and vice versa.
- If your car has a Ballast ignition you are running a Ballast ignition coil such as a Lucas DLB110
- Ensure there is a good earth to the distributor, ignition kit and ignition coil.
- The Powerspark kit will operate on 6 volt or 12 volt Applications.
- Make sure any Live wires are to the correct side of the coil e.g. auto choke
Installing the Ignition Kit
- Remove the points and condenser base plate from the distributor.
- Replace with our electronic ignition base plate.
- Place trigger ring over the central shaft ensuring a tight fitment do not force the trigger on.
- Fix down the plate using your old screws.
- Run the wire around the back of the kit making sure they won’t snag when the distributor rotates.
- Replace rotor arm.

We supply four rings with this ignition kit because there were different versions of shaft from factory. These rings are critical to have in order for this ignition kit to operate correctly across all versions of DKY distributor.
This points replacement kit comes with 3 or 4 rings because of the variation is cams installed across they years, we are the only company on the market to have a full ignition kit with all of the possible trigger ring sizes for your convenience.
Simply select the ring that drops on snugly and discard or return the leftovers.
