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.

Increased spark accuracy (timing) as well as advance changes benefit ANY engine! As a matter of fact they benefit those "Non Raby screamers" more than anyone would believe.

This is the facts... The pertronix / compufire replaces points, it's still based on the sloppy mechanicals of the 009 dizzy with its lack of initial advance adjustment and it's non adjustable advance curve. Install the pertronix into a 009 slightly "Polishes a turd".... and while it's better it still isn't going to give you more power, MPG or reduce head temps.

Installing the DIS-IX is a "Super turd polishing" experience.... They call it a "Distribtorless ignition system" but its not! How the hell can you have a DIS system when its based on a distributor and it still uses that distributors crappy advance mechanism?? That system is no better than the dizzy it's sitting on top of as it's no more accurate or adjustable than the crappy 009 was to begin with.


Whats the real answer??? Two words:
Mallory Unilite
Accuracy and adjustability with no need for a little magnetic sensor because it has an optical pick up....
I have about 80K miles on the cap and rotor on the one in my 912E and every car I own has one, I even made a retro fit for the Pinzgauer and modified it to work with 24 volts- that gave me 4 MPG on a big ole honkin Austrian military truck and much better throttle response at low revs in low range 4X4. If I noticed a difference in a 5,000 pound truck turning 34" tall tires the difference can be noted in about anything.

Buy a Mallory. set it. Forget it. Four years later when you verify the timing it'll still be exactly where you set it.

Try that with a 009.
