Which Pertronix are you going to use, I, II or III? I have used I's on numerous older cars and my current 72 Cheyenne with no problems. Some for 15-20 years. And I have never run a 12 volt wire. I talked with Pertronix years ago and their tech department said a 12 volt was required for the III and in some instances on the II but not necessary on the I. I have used both stock and Flame Thrower coli also, and saw no difference.

I have used the Pertronix I because it looks factory and performs like brand new correctly adjusted points all day, every day for long periods of time with no wear and no adjustments.
