Pamco Installation

[jdm9123]

Hello all! After much deliberation I have decided to purchase the 14-0911 Pamco ignition system for my 78 xs 650 special and do away with the points. This is most likely a dumb question but I will ask anyways. I would like to know if there is any special modifications that need to be done to attach the new coil, the wiring harness, and the ignition itself. I am sure there are directions or a step by step somewhere but I have no been able to locate. A point in the right direction is much appreciated. Thanks!

sorry for the luddite question, but what inspired you to make this change? Does it fix a problem? Thanks!

I put a Pamco on my '70 CB350 and it's amazing. Just the time saved from dicking around setting the points is reason enough to buy it.

Been running the Pamco for more than a year. One less thing to worry about.....Ultimate coil rocks too!

Just got my Pamco ignition installed, and timed. Bike fired up instantly after sitting for a couple years. Well worth the money.

To prove the value of a Pamco, and the ease of it, this is the first intentional kick to start my '70 CB350 after it had, literally, been sitting in a garage, unstarted, for 30 years.
I put in a new battery and installed a Pamco. After this video I fixed the choke and it runs like a top.

the only thing that i had to do was file a little bit off of the tiny pin that keeps the pamco rotor in place. it was a replacement pin from mikes. im pretty sure that most people do not need to do this. besides that it was super easy. there is are some youtube videos of a guy installing his. its a 2 or 4 part video. he has the budweiser xs. helped a bit.
