What is the difference between Pertronix ignitor and Ignitor II?
When looking at spark energy at 3,000-5,000 rpm, PerTronix says the Ignitor can produce twice the power of points, and the Ignitor II can triple the spark energy. The Ignitor should be used with coils of 1.5-ohm resistance or greater, while the Ignitor II can benefit from higher-powered, super-low-resistance coils.
Is Pertronix any good?
A friend of mine with Pertronix module and flame thrower coil fitted for about 7 years and has just died completely while on the road. You’ll get good and bad reports for all ignition types but the Pertronix module seems to be as good as any. The failure is more likely to be the flame thrower coil.
Who makes the best electronic ignition?
The 123 is very popular and works well. The Pertronix distributor is probably the most widely used and very reliable. It can be installed as a full replacement for the Lucas distributor or as just the ignition module that replaces the points and condenser in a stock Lucas distributor.
Where are Pertronix distributors made?

Is PerTronix a Hall effect sensor?
“PerTronix’s original Ignitor system, which has been on the market now for 40-plus years, is a basic Hall Effect sensor that replaces the mechanical switching of points to an electronic switching system.
What is the ignitor II electronic ignition?
The Ignitor II Electronic Ignition takes the proven performance of the original Ignitor wrapping up even more features. The Ignitor II units sense the current coil level and use a powerful micro-controller to adjust the dwell. Adaptive dwell maintains peak energy throughout the entire RPM range, reducing misfires while improving engine performance
What is a pertronix ignition?
PerTronix Ignitor products are the best-selling electronic ignition conversions on the market. Many classic and vintage cars, trucks, boats, tractors, and other vehicles came with mechanical breaker points within the distributor to trigger the ignition spark. Breaker points have many limitations including continual wear that changes the dwell,
What are the different types of electronic ignition conversion kits?
Three different electronic ignition conversion kits are available, each with the ability to remove all of the mechanical variances and wear expected from breaker point systems. The original Ignitor Module is ideal for restorations while the Ignitor II provides increase starting voltage with adaptive dwell control.
What is a pertronix points conversion kit?
A Pertronix Points Conversion kit allows you to run a stock distributor while improving the reliability and performance of your ignition system. The Pertronix Ignitor kits simply bolt to the distributor in place of the points assembly and provide a much more accurate trigger signal.
