I'm pleased to see all the positive comment on Petronix. I had one set on my MGB GT and after 3 years the car started to miss so I removed it and went back to points. When it worked it was great. I a

I have heard the same thing from other people. Its like they either don't work at all or they work really well. I got lucky with mine and its been in the car for about 3 years. As part of their inst

My Jag XK140 left me stranded after installing the Pertronix electronic ignition setup. Only time it's ever done that. After consultation with Jason Len of XK's Unlimited, I was advised to make sure

I've heard nothing but good about Pertronics, it improved my Sprites performance. BUT, I've heard you can kill them by leaving the ignition on too long without the engine running. It does hurt to hav

I have a few observations and some experiences with Pertronix: First, the ignition timing will change after conversion. The trigger point of the unit is different than with contact points, and most l

WOW!!! I have never seen NOBBC with so many posts on my Email. Starting with Dawson's get together followed by helpful 'where to' and 'how to' sources and finally the multiple tech sessions. By havin

Hey Greg, I have gotten pretty excited about putting the Pertronics in my TR4, but your message sort of takes me back to my original reservations. In reading your message, it would seem that replacin

Hi Friends, I've tried installing a pertronix three times in my Lotus with a 904 2 liter engine, and it did not work any of those times, even with hours spent on the phone to tech support, or returni

Hi Mike, It is definitely NOT necessary to replace the distributor, as long as yours functions properly. In fact, Pertronix units, like many other electronic ignition systems, often extend the useful

Lots of talk about the small stuff. Yadda yadda yadda! I first put a Pertronix in my 73 TR-6 in the early 90's. First unit had a flaw in the magnet ring. It came apart. Changes were made by the manuf
