Title: Pertronix 1864A
Post by: Oggz on August 15, 2016, 07:59:30 PM
So, I put one of these in a sedan i has a while back, was the ducks nuts then and made starting the old grey a lot easier, I reckon it ran a lot better too.

Are these kits still popular? or is there another way to do it these days?

Starting to look at parts for the wagon and one of these has been on my list for a while. Did a search, but didnt find anything current about them.

Cheers
Oggz

I have had 1 fail so have gone back to points in the wagon.

I have sold a few & the only problem that causes them to fail is the coil resistance, it needs to be checked when installing. Also need good earthing on the dizzy.
