Diode Wire Kit

This is a wire & diode kit to bypass the original armored coil without having to cut into the armored cable when installing our PerTronix breakerless ignition kit.

Additional Technical Information

Please see our installation guide under Printable Instructions below for tips on how to hook the diode wire up for your shielded coil cable car.

Product Fitment Notes & Potential Issues

Unless you bought your classic Volvo brand new and know its full history, there's a good chance the distributor has been changed or modified. Our breakerless ignition kits are matched to the distributor number, eliminating possible mis-orders for cars that are not wearing their original distributors.

To help us identify the proper kit for your specific car, please check your Bosch distributor part number. On early distributors this number will be found on an oval tag riveted to the distributor body. On later distributors the number is simply stamped on the body (see picture).

This kit fits distributor numbers: 

001 (cast iron)
002 (JFR4 cast iron)
003 (JFR4 cast iron)
009 (cast iron)
