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)

Clay, What is the best option for a 1.8L dizzy short of 123ignition? 050? Thanks. The stock 1.8L distributor also works great with carbs. If you can find an 050, it is good. But finding a cap and rotor for an 050 is not easy these days. There is a pertronix for the stock 1.8L distributor. We have run two different ones in Betty's car for over 20 years. The first one dies because I hooked it up to the coil backwards and fried it. That was my dumb@ss move, not a fault of the pertronix. They have never even hiccuped in all that time. I have also run the pickup coil/igniter unit from a Toyota 22RE engine. It triggered off the point cam, and was totally reliable. The Igniter module got us protested at an AX, so I switched it to pertronix. |
