I just finsihed installing and running Bebe with her new ignition trigger installed.

She had a Mallory dual point system which was fine but everyone here says to switch over to Pertronix or better.... Instructions say to remove the dual point system and install the magnetic trigger, sensor, and new rotor in place of the stock parts. Pertronix triggers are so cheap I had to try it and WOW. She runs noticably smoother even with the long duration cam.

I give Pertronix a 2 thumbs up!

Yah, to cool. Cold starts are a breeze.

Carry a spare PAIR of points.....they like to shut down five minutes after the warranty expires.....

I'm an optical Crane Allison Fan....

But...hey glad it works for you. Are they getting better on the instructions? So MANY people hook them up assbackwards and let the smoke out......

18 months of trouble free service over here.

I've put them (or sold them) in a lot of people’s cars (bugs and busses mostly) and have seen many fail. I always give them a doggy bag with their old points, etc. and tell them to never leave home without it.
I tell them up front "no warrantee at all", period and If they want to chase the manufaturer they're on their own and I’ll charge them again for labour.

I've never put a set in my own cars, to me a set of $3 points that last at least 30K, take 5min to replace and never fail it's not worth the hassle.

But soon all my cars will be crankfire anyways...
