Description:


Absolutely the most stock appearing electronic ignition available on the market today!  The entire kit fits under the cap of your 57-74 GM points type distributor. Please read on!!!

 

The BREAKERLESS-SE single wire ignition kit is designed to convert all 1957-74 GM V8 engines equipped with window style distributor cap, screw-on type rotor, stock coil, and single or dual points, to solid-state electronic ignition. These maintenance-free modules will insure your car maintains its maximum performance. By utilizing a fully integrated trigger and power module, the entire kit fits completely under your distributor cap.

How is this module different from others?
Although our manufacturer did not develop the first electronic ignition conversion, they have developed what we feel is the best. We offer the only electronic ignition conversion kit that has no additional wires protruding from the distributor, only the original point's wire.  The result is a reliable, state-of-the-art ignition with an absolutely stock appearance.
(See below for more details and features.)

Legal for use on emission controlled vehicles. Includes mounting hardware, screwdriver, step-by-step instructions and 3 year warranty.
Made in U.S.A.

 

 WHY SHOULD YOU CONVERT YOUR DISTRIBUTOR
TO ELECTRONIC IGNITION?
The choice is obvious.

BREAKERLESS-SE Electronic Ignition

Original "Point-Type" Ignition System
Electronic ignition module won't burn out under normal use. Points burn out from normal use and need to be replaced many times over the life of the car.
Module won't burn out if ignition switch is left in the run position (with ignition turned off). Points burn out if ignition switch is left in run position.
Electronic ignition develops up to 30,000 volts at the spark plug when a car is running at 10 mph.  This voltage remains at up to 30,000 volts when the car reaches 100 mph.  In addition, many electronic ignition systems maintain this voltage at speeds of 8,000 RPM.  (The Breakerless-SE is rated to fire at well over 10,000 RPM). Conventional system develop only 24,000 volts when a car is running at 10 mph.  But this voltage drops to 17,000 volts when the car reaches 100 mph.  A detrimental 40% drop in voltage to fire the air/fuel mixture under high load conditions.
Electronic ignition systems can operate as high as 8 amps which further enhances the performance of the overall ignition system. Conventional point's deterioration problems limit the primary current to the coil to about 4.5 amps.
Maintenance-free (with higher ignition voltage, more accurate timing, longer plug life, increased fuel economy, faster starts, and improved performance) Constant adjustments (gapping) necessary to insure peak performance.
 Incorporates "Active Dwell" technology.

    Note: "Dwell" is measured in degrees and is
    the amount of 'time' the points stay closed.
    When the points are closed, the coil is
    building up charge (inductive). When the
    points open the coil releases it's charge.
    Electronic ignitions also have dwell - it's just
    controlled by the electronics in the module
    (not adjustable by the owner or mechanic as
    it is with points.) The Breakerless-SE
  
 incorporates "Active Dwell" technology to
    maintain high RPM spark energy; delivering
    up to 30,000 volts with the stock Delco ignition
    coil, while reducing coil heating at idle.
    Active dwell control is a very clever [electronic]
    way to further increase the output of the coil.
    With active dwell control the system is
    constantly monitoring the coil output and
    actively varying the dwell for maximum coil
    saturation. This does wonders for actual spark
    output. Another way to describe this would be
    'constant on time dwell'.
Points need adjusting to compensate for dwell ("dwell" is how long your points stay closed, or "dwell" together, as the distributor shaft rotates).
No maintenance necessary for the distributor cam. Distributor cam requires periodic lubrication so cam wheel lobes can slide past the points.  In addition the cam lobes will wear, eventually causing performance problems.
Very reliable solid-state circuitry. Not reliable (for all of the above reasons).
Condenser is no longer necessary, and is removed. Condenser can degrade and/or fail, needing replacement.

 

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
ABOUT THE BREAKERLESS-SE

Which vehicles can use the BREAKERLESS-SE? The Breakerless-SE is designed to be used with all 1957 to 1974 GM V8 breaker point type distributors having the following criteria:
1. Window-style distributor cap. 
2. Screw-on type rotor
   
(not the push-on type rotor)
3. Stock coil
    (or coil with stock specs. see below)

If your car has all 3 of the above criteria,
the Breakerless-SE will work for you!

NOTE: The Breakerless-SE is designed to be used with a stock/original type distributor & coil.  It will not fit or work with aftermarket distributors (i.e. Accel, Mallory, MSD, etc.) and will not work with any MSD Blaster coils. See below for more info.

What does the BREAKERLESS-SE Electronic Ignition Conversion Kit include? Our Breakerless-SE single wire ignition conversion kit comes with everything you need to complete your installation.  Kit includes: (1) module, (1) two piece vane assembly, all necessary mounting hardware, screwdriver, complete step-by-step installation instructions. Easily installs in 15 minutes! You do not need to remove your distributor!
What are the benefits of installing a BREAKERLESS-SE in my vehicle?

 

 

The benefits you'll realize by installing the Breakerless-SE include:
- higher ignition voltage
- more accurate timing
- longer spark plug life
- increased fuel economy
- faster starts
- improved performance
- The most obvious, and important benefit however, is not having to change or adjust your points and condenser ever again!
What do you mean by "single wire operation"? The Breakerless-SE requires only one wire to operate, the original points wire. This not only simplifies installation, but preserves the stock appearance of the original factory wiring and distributor. Similar ignition conversion systems on the market use two or three wires to operate, making installation difficult, and creating a "non-stock" appearance in your engine compartment.
Do I need to remove my distributor to install this kit?  No.  Unlike many other conversion kits, the Breakerless-SE may be installed with the distributor in the car.
Will it work with my Tachometer? The Breakerless-SE is compatible with factory and aftermarket tachs. A tach filter should not be required. However, if one was originally installed in the vehicle it should be left in place. Some low cost, imported and reproduction tachs do a poor job of triggering from the coil's (-) signal and may require additional filtering to prevent erratic or inaccurate readings. The tachometer manufacturer should be contacted to resolve these types of problems.

NOTE: Do NOT connect any devices to the positive (+) side of the coil, such as solenoids, alarm systems, electric chokes, stereos, etc.  They may draw too much power and will interfere with the operation of the Breakerless-SE.

Will it work with a mechanical advance distributor? It doesn't matter what type of advance your distributor may have.  The Breakerless-SE will work with either a vacuum advance or mechanical advance distributor.
How rugged or durable is the BREAKERLESS-SE? The exterior of the Breakerless-SE is molded from PPS, making it impervious to heat and solvent (up to 5000 F). The electronics inside are potted/sealed with thermally conductive epoxy protecting them from vibration and moisture. We are so confident in the construction quality of the Breakerless-SE that we offer a 3 year manufactures warranty 
What are some of the important safety features of the BREAKERLESS-SE? 1. It's polarity protected against accidental reverse battery installation.
2. It will withstand battery jump starts and will operate down to 6 volts to ensure cold weather starting.
3. It's designed to shut off 1 second after the engine stops. This feature protects the coil and ignition should the key be accidentally left in the ON position.
You state that the
BREAKERLESS-SE  requires a
"window-style" distributor cap.
What does this cap look like and
why is it required?

A window-style distributor cap is not required, per se, but this type of cap does signify the specific type of distributor needed for the Breakerless-SE to fit & function properly. (These distributors have the correct housing to allow proper vane assembly rotation, proper breaker mounting plate, and screw-on rotor.)

So rather than asking people what type of distributor they have (which many people don't know), it is easier to ask if they have a window-style distributor cap.

Can the BREAKERLESS-SE  
be used in aftermarket- type
distributors?
The Breakerless-SE is designed to be used with 1957 to 1974 GM, AMC or Jeep V8 breaker point type distributors (with windowed-style distributor caps).   It will not work with aftermarket distributors (ie. Accel, Mallory, MSD, etc.)
What type of coil can be used with the BREAKERLESS-SE? The Breakerless-SE was designed for classic restoration cars.  Consequently, the Breakerless-SE is compatible with all original/stock GM Delco Remy coils when used in conjunction with the factory installed ballast resistor.  These original-type coils are high-inductance and have a primary resistance of 1.2 to 1.8 ohms.

Most aftermarket or "hi-performance" coils are compatible as well, as long as their primary resistance is within the range of 1.2 to 1.8 ohms.  The Breakerless-SE will perform at its best when using a coil with a primary resistance of 1.3 ohms.

How can you tell what the primary resistance of your coil is?  You can get this information from the coil's box, contact the manufacturer, or  use a quality ohmmeter on the coil.  To use an ohmmeter, first zero-out your meter.  Then put your meter across the + and - posts of the coil.

Be sure to follow the coil manufacturers installation instructions carefully, or contact them whenever installing a non-stock coil. Before you buy a new coil, you will want to contact the manufacturer for compatibility issues.

NOTE: The Breakerless-SE is designed
to be used with a stock/original type
distributor & coil.  It will not fit or work
with aftermarket distributors (i.e. Accel,
Mallory, MSD, etc.) and will not work with
any MSD Blaster coils.
 DO NOT use the
Breakerless-SE with any "MSD Blaster"
coils or coils with low primary resistance.
The primary resistance on these coils is
too low (about 0.5 ohm) and will ruin the
Breakerless-SE module and void your
warranty!!!

What types of performance coils can be used with the BREAKERLESS-SE?

Any high-inductance coil with a primary
resistance of 1.2 to 1.8 ohms. Most
"stock" or original replacement coils
are of this type. (see above)

Can I use an aftermarket CD ignition box with the BREAKERLESS-SE? The Breakerless-SE will not work for triggering aftermarket CD ignition boxes such as the MSD 6AL, Crane HI-6, etc. Connection to the ignition coil is required for proper operation.
Can I use a Rev Limiter?

 

 

Most popular aftermarket RPM limiters will work with the Breakerless-SE. However, it is advisable to check with the limiter's manufacturer, since third party products cannot be guaranteed by us.
Will I need to change my spark plugs to a different heat range? The factory recommended spark plugs should be used.
Will I need to change my spark plug wires? You can use your original-type spark plug wires or hi-performance wires, which ever you choose.
Will I need to change the gap of my spark plugs? Plug gaps should be set to factory specifications. Increasing the plug gap will provide negligible performance gains, but will increase the demand on the ignition coil.
What is the maximum operating RPM? Maximum operating RPM is in the range of 7,000 to 8,000 RPM with the stock coil. Condition of the coil, as well as secondary ignition components (i.e. spark plugs, cap, rotor, wires) and the battery voltage will ultimately determine the maximum RPM. The Breakerless-SE is capable of firing at well over 10,000 RPM.
Should I remove the condenser in the distributor when installing the BREAKERLESS-SE ? Yes.  It is no longer needed.
My ignition coil has a condenser attached to it.  Should I leave it installed? Yes. This is a noise filter for the radio and should remain connected to the coil's positive (+) terminal.
Will the BREAKERLESS-SE work on positive ground vehicles? No. The reverse polarity protection circuitry, built into the Breakerless-SE, will not permit it to run.
What are the most common problems I might encounter after installing the BREAKERLESS-SE ? A bad or marginal ground connection to the distributor's breaker plate is by far the most common problem, followed by poor engine grounds, bad coils, using a hi-
performance coil, or bad/wrong ballast
resistor.
What is the warranty on the BREAKERLESS-SE?

The Breakerless-SE has an incredible 3 Year Warranty!!!
