Larry,

I don't think I'll ever own this device, but you've done a great service for the forum, and Pat!

Holly cow !!

thanks very much for that, i was about to pay full price on e-bay for reprints of that manual....i saved them all, before Delta calls you to remove them because of copyrights, lol....

I owe you a big on, thanks very very much.

fwiw its funny to see such kind of manual, very antiquated by todays standard no doubt !!

and the part list at the end, lol....the big TO3 transistor was made by Delco (GM) and i am 99% sure they where DTG-110, commonly found in theirs big AM radios.

to be continued....

Hi Pat--

While I'm not as fast as some people, at least I kept the paperwork for this ignition and can share. Let me know if any page is illegible and I can e-mail that page directly.

If you are assembling or repairing a unit, consider replacing the 4-conductor ribbon cable that connects the coil to the electronics. The vinyl insulation on mine is pretty hard (after 40 years...) and might crack.

Have fun with your kit!

Larry

i guess i was destined to do something with that

i was talking with a local friend and he saw my unsasembled RadioShack kit and told me he has such 6v unit a while ago (car enthusiast as well), he found it and gave it to me....its complete but m-i-a. At least i can rebuild it all and see how it performs.

And today while i was digging in my stash of crap i found something i did a while ago, a MSD-A-LIKE unit. The whole thing was driven by a Microchip mcu. Even today most cdi units are all analogue and made with crude componentry.

Funny. I was ahead of the time even 15 years ago....lol....

fwiw, just fixed my newly arrived 6v unit and did put it to some basic test.

It works.
