Thanks Andy! That's my next purchase. Do I need a different coil, distributer cap, etc? or is it all one unit?
nope, just the pertonix ...
you keep the stock cap and rotor and coil.
you trash the points and the condensor.
and here's a few helpful hints for installing (thank you Rich!
)
1) throw away the spacer that comes with it
2) the (included) mounting plate (where the actual unit mounts to) needs just a little bit of grinding on one corner, otherwise it won't sit flush. the plate has a rounded edge looking like this ( where you need to file off a bit of material on the lower edge. you'll know when you see it.
3) use a little bit of locktite (sp?) on the mounting screw. don't overtighten the screw!
4) same for the 2 nuts that hold down the actual unit. don't overtighten!
5) put the magnet over the shaft
6) fiddle the wires through the whole where you removed the condesor wire. the flat rubber piece seals against the dist. housing from the inside, the round rubber piece goes on the outside and is hold in place by reusing the condensor mounting bracket.
7) use plastic gauge to set the GAP
8) tighten the unit down
9) make SURE red wire goes to + coil and black wire goes to - coil, both wires have red connectors, otherwise it's toast.
took only ten minutes ...
