The pigtail on the new board terminates with the same male connector as the original so it just presses into the same female on the stock wire harness. Takes all of a couple of minutes to change out the board and after 40 or so years it sounds to me like a really good idea. At $135 plus shipping it might save a lot of headaches! Gary Bovee's Pertronics module kit is around that same price so for less than $300 you might have your old Onan purring like a contented cat and eliminate spark issues for as long as you own your coach.

Mac,

Good idea! You could put a bit of electrical grease in the connector before you pushed it on the "pin" to keep corrosion at bay.

I believe that the wire into the connectors need to be 90? to the connector itself to clear the cover that goes over the board, do
they make them in a 90? version?

I'd suggest using the insulated flat push-on connectors on those pig-tail wires for ease of connect/disconnect of the new board to
the coach wiring. Cover the joints with heat shrink for security and safet.
