Removing the points and condenser eliminates the wear-prone contact surfaces that cause misfires and require periodic gap adjustment, replacing them with an electronic trigger that fires consistently across the RPM range. The kit is designed as a one-piece unit with a simple two-wire hookup, so it installs into the existing distributor housing without modifying the ignition system beyond the points and condenser it replaces. It continues to use a standard coil, cap, and rotor, meaning the rest of the ignition system stays as-is.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTiming precision is held to within 1\/4 degree across a 0 to 6000 RPM range, giving a stable spark advance curve from idle through high RPM. The kit is also built to work alongside Sierra's Flame Thrower coils 18-5466 and 18-5469 for owners looking to pair the conversion with an upgraded coil. It is intended for 6 cylinder Delco distributor applications only; other Sierra conversion kits are sold separately for different distributor types and cylinder counts, so confirm the distributor style before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sierra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18-5294\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitment:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 Cylinder Delco Distributors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eResistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.0 Ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTiming Accuracy:\u003c\/strong\u003e Within 1\/4 degree from 0 to 6000 RPM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWiring:\u003c\/strong\u003e One-piece, two-wire hookup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Accessories:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flame Thrower 18-5466 and 18-5469\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Machined\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.39 x 0.39 x 0.39 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.34 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 030999976635\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e6 Cylinder Delco Distributors\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGLM 72570\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMallory 9-26901\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat distributors does the Sierra 18-5294 fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-5294 Electronic Conversion Kit is designed for 6 cylinder Delco distributors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 18-5294 replace points and a condenser?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the 18-5294 replaces the points and condenser in a 6 cylinder Delco distributor with a true solid-state electronic trigger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need a new coil, cap, or rotor with this kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the 18-5294 uses your standard coil, cap, and rotor, so those components do not need to be replaced during installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow accurate is the timing after installing the 18-5294?\u003c\/strong\u003e Timing accuracy is held to within 1\/4 degree across a 0 to 6000 RPM range once the 18-5294 is installed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the electrical resistance of the 18-5294?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-5294 has a resistance of 3.0 Ohms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 18-5294 hard to install?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a one-piece unit with a two-wire hookup, which Sierra designed for straightforward installation in place of the existing points and condenser.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions and weight of the 18-5294?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-5294 kit measures 0.39 x 0.39 x 0.39 inches and weighs 0.34 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre there other part numbers that cross to the 18-5294?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-5294 is interchangeable with GLM 72570 and Mallory 9-26901.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the 18-5294 be paired with an upgraded coil?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the 18-5294 can be used with Sierra's Flame Thrower coils 18-5466 and 18-5469.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat finish does the 18-5294 housing have?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-5294 has a machined exterior finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the 18-5294 fit a 4 cylinder distributor?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the 18-5294 is built specifically for 6 cylinder Delco distributors, not 4 cylinder applications.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sierra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48988208431323,"sku":"SIE-18-5294","price":200.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/SIE-18-5294_lg__22600.1558127559.500.750.jpg?v=1785189182","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/sierra-18-5294-electronic-ignition-conversion-kit-for-mercruiser-v6-with-delco-distributor-interchanges-mallory-9-26901","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
