It may depend on the Pertronix model and if there were other mods made to the
plug gaps but in the simplest case you would remove the Pertronix collar from
the dizzy shaft, remove the Pertronix pickup, re-install the points and
condenser and you are good to go. In this base configuration the standard
dizzy cap and rotor arm are used so it is a trivial swap on the road. You just
need to carry the points/condenser kit and have a 15 thou feeler gauge handy
to set the points gap.

Subject: Another Pertronics question
Listers:
I have a much simpler Pertronics question:
I am scheduled to take the 6 on a multi-day trip in a few weeks. I have a
Pertronics electronic ignition setup installed by the PO that works great.
My
concern is that it could fail on the trip and leave me stranded. I plan to
bring standard ignition parts with me to use as a backup just in case. I
gather that swapping the Pertronics out and the standard parts in is pretty
trivial.
1. What parts, exactly, do I need to purchase (condenser, points, rotor,
anything else)?
2. What is the procedure for swapping them out?
As simple as this must be, my Haynes manual says nothing about electronic
ignition and I don't have any of the instructions from the original Pertronix
installation.
Thanks!
