I am looking to replace my points system with electronic ignition system. Leaning towards the Pertronix system as it looks pretty simple, straight forward and from reading seems they are now considered dependable. I do not race my car so no need to over build, rather just want dependability.
What I do want to know by those who have upgraded are what other changes did you make, as to the particular system you put in. (change spark plug gap, timing changes, wires, etc.). This way I can better understand that if I purchase a particular brand, what to also consider to get the most from it. Cost is not a major factor, as I want what works well and looks stock. As always I appreciate everyone taking time to comment, I learn lots from this site and everyone’s expertise. |
