Pertronix - Well impressed

[Sydney1]

Easy to fit (once you locate the grommet in the dissy) and even though the engine was running fine prior to the change over it pulls so much better throughout the rev range and especialy up hills.
I was initially surprised at the cost when you look what is inside the box (a couple of wires coming out of a little black blob of plastic on a metal ring) but if anyone is thinking about it, GO FOR IT!

Echo exactly what Sydney1 said - just fitted mine and everything seems much more...'even'!

 

[Tezzah]

Has anyone gone one step further and changed thier coil and leads and if you did was there much difference?

 

[Pickles]

I hope to be impressed too :lol: also getting some new webbers for the bus hoping that's the end of the flat spot and that the bus aint so thirsty

Hey bubba, did you fit these in the end? How did you get on?

 

[gninnam]

Which Pertronix (1 or 2) did you use?

 

[Sydney1]

Went for 1. As I underatand it, the 2 is more resilient if you manage to leave the ignition turned on for more than say 5 or 10 minutes and not planning to do that!

I am also impressed, but did have a Pertronix 1 fail on me (and not due to leaving the ignition on).

My understanding is that you can blow the Pertronix 1 if you leave the ignition on for only 90 seconds with the engine not running.

its good till it fails so carry back up points etc or join the RAC
