My dad bought one of the last '53 WD's new, it came from the factory with a 6 volt battery ignition.

I know I am kinda wierd. But I went the other way several years ago. I traded my distributor for a good mag. I had the mag rebuilt at Buesings Iowa Generator on J. Street in Cedar Rapids Iowa. And my WD starts better and runs great.

Dave,
Sorry I missed your question. I'm not on here as much as I used to be. Havin' to much fun being retired.  LOL! Our part number 1511B-02. Complete kit $650. + the shipping with E.I. already installed. Everything in the kit except ambition.  We sell quite a few of em' over the years.
