ignitor II, Pertronics fixes burnout problem? Options

[swl]

I've read a number of threads here about the pertronics module and how the 'aw shit' factor comes in. Looks like they have listened.

Senses incorrectly wired Ignitor II or a “key left on” condition and shuts down the system protecting the coil and other components from damage.

If they're treated well, they can last for well over 20,000 miles, meaning you'd have to adjust the valves 3-4 times between points replacement, so the maintenance isn't really improved all that much.

but any time not spent with my butt in the air and my head down in the engine bay is worth it! Getting too old for that nonsense!

Cap'n - sounds like you've seen enough of these that your stats are solid. No failures is a pretty good number (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) Since reliability is my primary concern going with compufire sounds good.

I'm going to replace the coil and wires as well. Any thoughts about doing the full DIS-IX kit? Further reduces wearout parts by eliminating the rotor and cap. These look like they are designed for type 1. If memory serves type one doesn't have the 2 longer spark plug ends. I found one vendor that offers it without the wires.
