The nova2s won’t hold up currently when fitted to an outboard a lot of folks here have tried them and they have failed. I have had success adding a diode to them and I am hoping that will keep them alive for folks that don’t want to or can’t build their own Red Atoms. And a lot of folks will continue to keep using points and condensers theirs nothing wrong with that method either.
The Red Atoms are a version of an electronic module that came out in like the 1970s and they do hold up. They came in several different colors which allowed you to know which motors to put them on to replace the points and condensers with the module. A guy here named Debe took the time and expense to purchase several different colors and take them apart and show his work so folks here could build their own. I have built several and am working on a How-To guide with pictures that shows how I build mine and where I get my parts along with the part list and prices of what I am using.
The way I am doing my modules I leave the points cam in place along with all the screws and half a set of points that way anyone can put points back in the future if they desire. If I were building race modules I might be inclined to have 2 to 3 modules per cylinder with like a 2 or 3 way switch that I could switch on the fly. What I do like about the modules is the engine fires 180 degrees apart every time which is not so when using points if they aren’t set correctly or the crank has slop in it allowing he points cam to move right-to-left.
I hope that helps,
Joe
