Pertronix
By RobMcQ - 05/11/2002 8:00:28 PM; IP 63.227.27.104
There had to be something wrong with your set up to not gain over the points. We have installed a few hundred Pertronix units, and they have ALWAYS resulted in an improvement in performance over points, sometimes very significantly. The "new" Pertronix Ignitor II is an improved design with more features. We still sell a majority of the older design and they work great.

You do need at least 9 volts with the Pertronix, with best results at 12+ volts. Also, you must use a std 1.5ohm coil (not .7 like some coils), with a 40K volt performance coil (Pertronix or another brand) providing the best performance. Also, some folks have deleted or lost the ground wire when installing the Pertronix unit, not good. Distributor timing will change somewhat without the resistance of the points and should be checked.
This thread, so far...
