Was checking up on ignition upgrades from Pertronix again and saw that they offer the Ignitor III for our vacuum dizzies now. Supposed to work like a box style ignition without the box(multiple spark, rev limiter). Did a search here and didn't see anything for that model. Anybody used an Ignitor III and have any useful feedback on or off a Porsche? Not looking for opinions on whether or not Pertronix belongs in our cars or not, just on the functionality of the Ignitor III. With that said, I know this may start a (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) storm..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif)

If you are looking for a distributor that works well with carbs, get the stock distributor for a 74-74 1.8L L-Jet engine.
Then get this from Pertronix. https://pertronix.com/electronic-ignition-c...;model=914#auto Any of the three will work fine. The Ignitor I is what we have been running for years. Put it in, set the timing to 7.5 degrees at idle. Leave both vacuum connections disconnected. Then (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |
