Just an electronic ignition kit. I believe you have an AQ125B, so the kit would be a Pertronix #2842. You can get it from www.pertronix.com or any autoparts store can order one for you. They also sell on eBay. If you search the forum, you will find where other members got theirs.

Justin, my experience is that you get smoother idle, very stable ignition timing, and you never have to change/adjust points or condenser again. My opinion is that it is well worth doing.

I just picked up the Hot Spark electronic conversion kit from Ebay to try on my AQ140. I have used Pertronix kits on cars and they work great, but this other brand was half the price. I'll install it next weekend and see how it goes.
