Re: Pertronix Ignitor
I have had the Ignitor I system in my Chevelle for close to 20 years, never a problem. On the wagon I used their billet distributor with the Ignitor II system, been in there for 7+ years without a problem. Both have Pertronix coils. The Ignitor I system also worked fine with my stock coil. In that car I retained the resistor wire and never ran a separate wire and never had a problem. The wagon got a new wiring harness with no resistor wire and gets 12v. The truck has an HEI and I've had trouble with it from time to time, but then it was a well used unit. Even though I rebuilt much of it when I first installed it I've lost a few ignition modules and have had to rebuild just about every aspect of it over the years but it still burns out a module often enough that I always carry a spare in the truck. It previously did not have a full 12v which may have contributed to the issues, but it now has a full 12v. No problems for the past 8 months or so and at this point everything but the distributor body is new.
