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)

The ignitor I is prone to failure with KOEO for extended periods. The ignitor II is less touchy about that, has reverse polarity protection, is more stable at high rpm, and has adaptive dwell control. UGH! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dead horse.gif) search on any # of the 100 or more Pertronix threads. Its all been covered before. I continue to use the 1847V "I" version. its cheap simple and the KOEO issue will only occur when the PU & magnet are aligned, so to avoid, DONT leave the key on & engine off (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) |

Rich -
Sorry - I'm relatively new at this 914 thing and still learning. And my tendency - obvious to all - is to keep researching something ad infinitum..... Meanwhile, back to, "What is a 009 Dizzy?" Apparently there are THREE. One works fine, and was an original on the FI system. It is a: 0 231 181 009 - or 022 985 205AA The other is the one with the flat curve, like mine, that many say is not good on a 914: 0 231 178 009 - no other number is on my dizzy, so I don't know what its other number is.... Does anyone know the numbers on the 178 009 - or the third one? Pelican lists 4 - 914 distributors - and the last one on the list, the 205AA, is indeed an 009 - but its the 181 009....the last on their list...... https://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/9.../914_timing.htm GN The ignitor I is prone to failure with KOEO for extended periods.
