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)

Spoke with Carl from Pertronix.
(1) I'm on vacation and cannot confirm the stock distributor number but guessed at 0-231-174-005 (from ebay pictures) if any one can confirm that would be great, I'm not sure how many different stock distributors there are out there When I get home: (2) Verify that 12V is on the + of the coil (3) There should be no other wires on the - side of the coil except the Pertronix (4) 2.3 ohms is too high and they recommend no more that 1 ohm other wise the engine will run hot (5) check the spark at the coil, should just at 3/8" to a ground which indicates 35k vols (6) check the spare at the plug which should also jump 3/8" to a ground Thought this was going to be easy and a nice upgrade... |
