Some years ago when I had a SOB with a 6000 watt Onan (not a powerdrawer, like on the GMC) I purchased an electronic ignition for it from Camping World. For a number of reasons It was never installed and the rig is long gone now. Price was around $100 as I recall
I found it in the basement today. I believe it is a genuine Onan part, but the instructions do not have any brand on them at all, only that it is a Kit 160-1376 and the other number on the paper is C385a. It replaces the points on the Onan, but again, I am not sure what models or if it will fit the Power Drawer. I have the module and the instruction sheets. The sheets show how to time the original ignition points and then replace that point unit with this electronic module.
If anyone would like it to experiment with I would get it to you for $5 in postage as the only cost. Please don't ask for it if you have no idea of what to do with it. I would like it to go to a good home, and had some real use, or someone who was an avid experimenter and would like to tinker with it. Again, brand new, never installed.
As I was writing this post I did a Google search of the part number and found this article by Chuck Aulgur at a GMC rally in 1999, so it may fit the power drawer too.
