I would like to know if anyone has tried to install an electronic ignition for a 1970 914/6? Such as Pertronix? I or II? Or what else is out there? I want to keep it looking original, but have heard the reliability of the Pertronix can be an issue. Is it worth getting a new coil as well? Any thoughts and/or experiences are appreciated.
Also I am looking for a "readable" 1970 914/6 electrical schematic. Any hints? Thanks |

While crankfire ignition is quite accurate, I don't think most folks need to go to that extent to eliminate the variations inherent in breaker point ignition.
Besides Pertronix, Crane also offers a pointless module that fits in most Bosch distributors. Optional ignition coils are .... optional. 914-6 engines are the same as 1969 911T engines. Look for wiring diagram SL33 from the 911 repair manual and/or from a 914-6 manual (pretty sure it's the same). Try this source for factory info: http://early911nzdownloads.yolasite.com/workshop-manuals.php I have some early high res. electrical diagrams on my now-vintage website: http://members.rennlist.org/911pcars/ Sherwood |
