FAST Points Conversion for Classic Cars

fast_xr-i_points_conversion_kit_1200

Users can benefit from modern day, digital technology with the FAST® XR-i Replacement Module included in a new points conversion kit. This system will do away with points setting and float, which can rob engines of power and performance.

The XR-i is a compact module that bolts directly in place of the breaker point assembly. It triggers from the factory cam lobe, meaning there are only two wires to connect during installation. The microcontroller of the module manages the signal and dwell time in the coil to produce a much higher output spark than the factory version. This will improve the performance and drivability of classic vehicles. A built-in rev limiter also protects engines in the event of driveline failure or a missed shift. The XR-i kit is designed for classic Chevrolet, Ford, Oldsmobile and Pontiac V8 applications. It may be optionally used with the FAST® PS20 Coil to enhance the output of the factory ignition system. Thanks to CARB E.O. D-225-67, the FAST® XR-i Points Conversion Kit is also 50-state legal.

        Hello Cliff!

        We have received the following response from our experts regarding your question:

        We do not recommend removing the distributor to replace the points.
        We have done it on countless small block Chevrolet engines without removing the distributor.
        The distributor is in the back on this engine, so you’ll need to lean over the fender to get to it, but a sturdy step stool makes the process easier.

        Hi, Everett. Points conversion systems are nothing new, in fact Pertronix has been building quality kits for years. FAST is relatively new to this segment, although they have a solid reputation in the industry and tout the easy installation of their new product.

      I just found a 68 Cutlass Convertible and am considering the ‘pointless” ignition system.
