Installed unit on WD45 Allis Chalmers gas engine that had been converted to propane. I converted to 12 volt negative ground before installation. The difference was incredible! After opening plug gaps to .035, and installing hot rod plug wires, starting is much faster, response is better, and even with the lower compression gas engine, tractor is still putting out 45 PTO horse power. All this work was done 20 years ago.

Put one in my son's Pontiac 326. Lasted a few weeks before it took a crap. Tried to get it replaced and all the support wanted to do was come up with reasons why it was my fault. The 2 or 3 might be better, but we dropped a Mallory Unilite in it last year......no problems.

Quick question: don't one have to readjust the ignition timing after installation of the ignitor module? I may have missed that in the video. My best from Germany, Jay

Great video...thanks, do you guys think you could do one with the Pertronix 2001 Ignition Power Relay Kit instead?

You can run the Pertronix II in a factory tach car. I am running one in my 1967 Shelby. You run the factory wires as you would to the coil , including the black from the ignition unit. The red wire that comes off the Pertronix unit will have to have a direct feed from the ignition switch. I simply pulled a 16 gauge fine stranded wire through the boot that feeds the engines gauges and soldered a ring terminal and heat shrink wrapped the connection. It's to the 12V IGN hot.

I have a 1975 f100 with a 360 and solid state ignition. My resistance wire runs all the way to the ignition switch. Where do I tie in to get the 12v to coil?

Great video lads can the retro fit pertronix electronic ignition be used in conjunction with my existing msd 6 many thanks

Hi mates, I've got a Ford F1 1946, but I'm looking for a new replacement on the ignitor eletronic ignition. Would you know the correct one to use? Thanks D
-
Hey guys, so did you not connect the red PerTronix wire to the positive side of the coil. Looks like you instead , ran it to the 12V ignition correct??
-
So I have a 61 Galaxie that already has an electric ignition module installed in my distributor but I'm not sure if the previous owner bypassed the ballist resistor wire. I could use the multimeter test here to confirm? Does the ballast resistor get bypassed when the car is running or just during cranking?

Which kit # would I need for a 239 flathead stock engine
-
I bought a new coil for my factory 67 mustang 289. The original coil has positive and negative. The new one has battery, and distributor. Which wires go to which terminal on the new one? I don't want to burn up a brand new coil by having them hooked up wrong........red to battery, black to distributor?
-
That petronix is a pretty slick setup
-
Running pertronix flame thrower and igniter wiring is correct runs well but the coil get hot 133 F installed on a Model A Ford is this OK?
-
I would like to try this on my 1964 Ford f250 pickup with a 292. I already have the part in my distributor that replaced my points and it has been a great system.
-
i'm an HEI guy myself but this is pretty cool too
-
Thanks for the tip about the ignition key! probably would have burned it up.
-
Could y’all make a tutorial for running the full 12 Volts? It seems like a common problem, and I can’t find a video or a good article to explain the process. Thanks!

I have a 1964 cadillac Deville 429 Engine which petronix should i consider please?
