Breakerless ignition...Anyone tried it??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I found this at http://breakerless.com/ and it looked like it might be nice, but I wanted to see if anyone here on the boards has tried it.

Any thoughts?

No on the Breakerless.
WE did use a Pertronix on a 6-cyl with great results. I would suggest using their coil as well.
Good Luck

I have a Pertronix Ignitor in my 250 and it works great. I think I paid about $50 for it 3 or 4 years ago. Definitely worth not having to mess around with points. Would not be so bad if the 6 cyl distributor caps had the window like V8's to adjust the points.

One thing to note on that type of ignition is, you need to remove the stock resistor wire.
