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)

I've had problems with two pertronix units . I noticed the advice from pertronix that they want ONLY their unit on the 12volt side of the coil. That may have been my problem because I have the electric fuel pump plugged into the coil along with the P unit.

The tech said something similar and that they were not that keen on something else plugged into the negative side of the coil. I just went out and checked it again an the engine started right up and the idle was very steady. |
