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)

Decision made. Ordered new 009 dizzy from AA and 1874A Ignitor directly from Pertronix for $87.......and they told me they were 15% off last Friday......Pertronix told me the 1874A was the correct unit for the 009 and would indeed work with MSD ignition.....
We'll see what happens..... GN |

Clay & Perry -
What is it about the advance curve in the 009 that is the problem? Total advance too much? Starts at too low rpm? There are those who say the 009 is fine..... or that it has no vacuum retard? Just curious......
