EMPI Accu-Fire Electronic Ignition Kit — Eliminate Points & Condenser

Turn your traditional points-based ignition into a modern, maintenance-free electronic system. The EMPI Accu-Fire drops directly into your existing 009 or stock vacuum-advance distributor and eliminates the need for points and condenser forever. Once installed, you get consistent timing, hotter spark, smoother idle, better fuel economy, and no more dwell adjustments or burned points.

Dust and water resistant, one kit fits both 009 and stock vacuum-advance distributors that use Bosch 044 points — including EMPI's 9431-B, 9428-B, and 9441-B distributors.
