Your cart is empty.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.

Worked great! This fits Bosch distributors that turn clockwise when facing the distributor shaft (It is also known as a "left handed" distributor). The distributor data plate part number ends in "051". Yes, there are wires that need to be extended to mate up with the factory wiring. Not a biggie and it does tell you this in the instructions. There is also an existing component that needs to be trimmed slightly for clearance of the new magnet wheel that fits over the original points cam. Again no biggie. I also replaced the ballast resistor due to it's age (original factory part) just to be safe.I had an ancient aftermarket CD ignition that this single device replaced (along with, of course, the breaker points). My fuel injection was already set correctly so I had no issue with it after installation of this part. The injection system should not be affected by the ignition system, in any case. The ignition timing should also be checked; setting the timing correctly with the factory procedure and the engine should not run hot.

Product not configured for my Bosch distributor as advertised, required changes to my equipment and re-routing in engine bay, ingenuity & hassle in general. And some of the internals of the distributor need to be removed, ground down and replaced in order to clear the spinning magnet. Then the fuel injection system needed re-tuning, to my surprise. Not a big deal but unexpected, a little puzzling. Now engine runs 10-15 centigrade degrees hotter, doesn't idle as smoothly as with the points setup: more odd. Pertronix says one of the advantages of their product is a much steeper (faster) build and collapse of spark. This was attractive, seemed to make sense. People who seem more knowledgeable than me say that Pertronix has effectively extended the firing time (spark duration) to more or less fill that whole time when the old, conventional spark curve was building up and collapsing down in a smooth curve (like the cross-section of a speed bump) with their square-cornered, full-on extended spark for the full duration. Sounds great, might give better power and more mileage but definitely results in hotter head temperatures: not so sure I like that part. Engine runs about the same on the road -- certainly not stunningly better/faster/louder or anything else;maybe a little less sweet somehow. First fuel fill surprised me by giving about 40% REDUCED mileage. I'll leave it installed for awhile and see what more I can learn, but..........Oh: called Pertronix during install to check if the ill-fitting unit was correct for my installation (primarily, the wires exit the wrong end of the pickup unit, necessitating 180 degree change in their travel inside the dizzy to get to over to the wire port and exit. Those wires are relatively short and need to cover some distance getting to the coil and external ballast resistor. Can be done without major butchery but requires re-mounting components, re-routing wires, and the path inside the distributor is a little sketchy, not the safest but is the most direct and is necessary to get the length needed. [Short wires saves real money over thousands of units manufactured, but I don't think a few inches is worth it; they cut it too close, especially when you consider that they routed them out the wrong end of the pickup unit in the first place. The fit of the magnet and pickup unit was fine and the engine started right up, but wouldn't stay running at idle with the old fuel injection settings. [Re-timing the engine ignition is necessary, routine, and could be the last time you'll ever have to do it.] Pertronix tech support said unit correct for me, alterations needed to get it installed should be expected, and that I could return the product. Period, full stop. They do say that their product is specially designed and engineered to fit the specific engine it's ordered for, without alterations. I wonder if they'd take it back after completed install & a few miles on it; I prolly won't bother. Need to change to a cooler set of plugs, see how it goes. But I can't say I'd recommend it based on how it's gone so far. Bottom line this far is no discernible gain on any front, a hotter-running engine, some hassle, out the better part of 100 dollars and a couple of hours......... and then a huge loss in gas mileage. Must be something left to figure out. I can't quite believe/don't wanna believe that this is like those old carburetor gizzies that promised the moon and were just another bad joke. [No, I didn't go for them then; looks like I did kinda fall for this one, though. Carburetor gizmos were a lot cheaper.]
