[Farmall] It's Battery Time

[Mike Sloane]

I have not had any personal dealings with Denny's Carb Shop, but you are 
the first I have heard that had something good to report.

I have installed Pertronix electronic modules (from other suppliers) in 
three different Farmall tractors, and I am very impressed with the 
performance. And, more importantly these days, the fuel usage went down 
noticeably. The Pertronix module for 90% of IH 4 cyl distributors is No. 
1442. See 
<http://public.fotki.com/mikesloane/farmall_340/petronixignition2.html> 
for one of my installations.
