    Hello,

    I'd like to convert my ignition from points to a breakerless ignition system.
    I've researched several brands on the internet. (Pertronix, Lectric limited and MH Electric)
    Does anyone know if MH Electric or Lectric limited is the original patent holder for the SE breakerless ignition system. Both companies advertise a similar product.

    Thanks,
    Robert

    Robert,
    Lectric limited is the patent holder on the SE breakerless system, M&H just re-sells it.

    Robert -- let us know how the upgrade works out - lectric seems to get solid reviews

    I put the Lectric SE conversion kit into my '72 last year and it has worked great. I've had zero problems and it was a very easy installation (30 minutes) with distributer left in. So far so good! I recommend.

    XR-I was a very simple install as well in mine, at a fraction of the cost of the lectric limited.

    I sell the Lectric Limited Brand (As well as all the other Products if needed) and I've had ZERO problems with them. If anyone is considering the Lectric Limited Brand I say go for it.

    A couple other nice features . . .

    You use all the factory wiring. No need to swap out or add any additional wiring with there kits. (So totally stock appearing unlike Pertronix which has an extra wire and requires a solid 12 volts)
    This is cool for any of you "stock appearing" guys.

    I offer a rebuild and installation service for the Buick Distributor if anyone is interested. Info and pricing on my website.... www.DieCastMuscleCars.com

    I have used Lectric Limited units for about 10 years without issues. I have heard little complaint about Crane conversion units. Over the years I have seen many complain here about Pertronix failures.

    Crane installed in my 67. Easy install, no problems yet. I like the adjustable rev limiter.
