Hey guys,
I've gone through countless threads and how to's to try and figure out if, that when I replace my stock 1975 xs650's ignition system if I also need to replace the advance rod? I understand that on the pamco site that 80's+ bikes need a few extra parts including the advance rod but the 70's don't (why is this). And I've also seen that on mikes xs that some of the pamco ignition kits you can buy come with the advance rod and bushings and some don't
So I guess my question is. I'm going to install a PMA & a pamco electronic ignition with the E-advancer which obviously would require me to remove the mechanical advancer and replace it with those spacers that come with the e-advancer. But do I need to replace the adance rod and bushings or is that optional? I just need to know if I need anything more than what is in this kit.

Sorry if this question has been asked before but I couldn't find a solid answer. I've never worked on a motorcycle before so I need all the help I can get.
