- If the ignitor were installed in the same position as the points, and the rotor magnets cross the ignitor in more or less the same position. then this shouldnt have been a problem. Are you talking 1

- The problem is Jarrid, with the Pertronic unit, (magnet) you can't tell when the contact is just right like with points. The base plate for the pick-up is mounted in the exsisting holes and cannot be

- Jarrid and others, I have installed Pertronix on over a half dozen cars of various makes (Sunbeams, Midgets, MGA's) and have to disagree with Jarrid on the position of the sensor in relationship whe

- Best to re-read my instructions... In a nutshell, it says that the phasing of the ignition event with respect to the phasing of the rotor is important. I dissagree that arbitrarily rotating the dist

- Gents-I remember on my Pertronix install one year ago the distributor base also had to be turned quite a bit in order to get the correct timing. I gave up and put the old system back in and the distr
