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)

If you are looking for a distributor that works well with carbs, get the stock distributor for a 74-74 1.8L L-Jet engine.
Then get this from Pertronix. https://pertronix.com/electronic-ignition-c...;model=914#auto Any of the three will work fine. The Ignitor I is what we have been running for years. Put it in, set the timing to 7.5 degrees at idle. Leave both vacuum connections disconnected. Then (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

Thank you! What distributor would that be? The Pertronix was ordered Monday and will be here next Monday....... RE: The advance curve on the Dansk (which is now $67) - Pelican Parts does not have that information and sent me to the European supplier for the Dansk distributor. Every indication is that the Dansk is a clone of the 009 and thus shares the advance curve of the 009........

I don't know the part number, but you should be able to place a wanted to buy ad in the parts forum.

Thanks. Talked to Pelican yesterday - they say the dizzy for the '74 1.8 is the Dansk, which is a clone of the 009........which I now have 2 of........ hmmmm.............

GN Whomever you talked to at Pelican doesn't know 914s. There is a number on the 1.8L distributor that says 009, but it is NOT the same as the Bosch 009 distributor. The advance curve is completely different, and an L-Jet distributor has a vacuum advance. I will check my L-Jet parts stash this weekend. I am fairly sure I have an L-Jet distributor. Clay |

Do you see the '74 1.8 dizzy on either chart on Post 52 or 55? Also, what are the three digits prior to the 009? I hear they are definitive....... GN Clay - Thanks.
