Jerry,
I can vouch for the *Pertronix "Ignitor" *distributor module. I have
had the original *Pertronics Ignitor* (I) for years The newer version
and hot coil for the Pertronix "*Ignitor II*" are still in their boxes,
as the original is working just fine.
There are some additional work to be done for the best set-up. For this
you need a knowledgeable mechanic who still has one of those mechanical
"Distributor Machines" and (as I recall) an adapter for the input.
You must decide your usage requirements to use distributor spring and/or
weight adjustment. These are available at parts stores for the Ford
distributor, and allow the advance curve to be adjusted. I believe we
used the spring kit for the "plain" marking (colored silver), depending
on your needs (Accel?). New silicone wires cut to desired routing
pattern from the FACTORY (Accel?).
RESULTS:
1. No points to wear, /*or replace*/.
2. Advance curved to */YOUR/* needs.
3. Clean wire routing to */YOUR/* needs.
If probably will last forever - which is why I saw no need for replacing
it with the newer model.
