The Pertronix 1244A Ignitor kit converts the side-mount 4-cylinder distributor on the Ford 2N, 8N and 9N tractors to electronic ignition. It installs inside the original distributor, runs on a 12 volt negative ground system, and delivers a stronger, more dependable spark for easier starting and less maintenance. Fitment is based on the Ford tractor side-mount distributor rather than a road-vehicle year and model.
