Ignitor Electronic Ignition Conversion Kits have proven themselves in applications ranging from race cars to tractors. It is the number one Electronic Ignition Conversion Kit to replace original mechanical points. A Pertronix Points Conversion kit allows you to run a stock distributor while improving the reliability and performance of your ignition system. The Pertronix Ignitor kits simply bolt to the distributor in place of the points assembly and provides a much more accurate trigger signal. This improves the timing accuracy and prevents ‘points bounce’ at higher rpm. The electronic technology also improves the dwell control to improve the spark output of the coil resulting in a hotter spark at the spark plug. With this dependable, self-contained, maintenance free electronic ignition system you'll never replace your points again.

This works so well after converting to 12v and installing this unit. I don't need to use the choke because the car starts so quickly. It's significantly less expensive than a new upgraded distributer and easier to install. It fits perfectly and it's quick to install. I've only had this installed for a few months so I cannot comment on durability.

Pertronix Part may be good if new but AMAZON sent me a used non working part. Wires cut and dirty, screws held together by a piece of tape, box beat to hell, etc etc. Now I'm dead in the water another week!!!!!!!!Thanks AMAZON!

Don’t buy their matching coil. It sucks and burns out your module. Get. Bosch 00012.
