| I had Pertonix in my L. Used original coil. I just carried a spare unit In the glove box easy to change. That's the beauty of the Chrysler electronic ignition. If it fails any auto parts has Replacement part available. Bob Haag On Dec 1, 2021, at 12:55 PM, Dan Plotkin <dplotkin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
I am happy to hear so many of you have had good luck with Pertronix. Corvette owners I associate with, most of whom serve as their own mechanics have not had as much luck and there is considerable controversy over their use. Seems divided down the middle between those of you here who love it and are problem free and those who came home on a tow truck. At the very least the warning I get is to keep a set of points, including the mounting screw, in the glove box just in case. Their theory is you can take a matchbook striker to a set of points and get going again. I’ve always wanted to know how they made a switching transistor that small to carry primary current, needing no means of cooling, inside the distributor. Somehow they must have it working. But for that reason I generally recommend staying with points. A good set properly installed and adjusted will go 15,000 miles or more. For me adjusting points and playing around with old tech is half the fun.

Subject: Re: {Chrysler 300} Kit for Electronic Ignition Conversion 1961 Chrysler 300G Interesting Petronix discussion. I found a Petronix pickup setup at a swap meet that fits my 72 MG Midget for $5, but no other parts or instructions. I just installed it in place of the points, with no change to distributor, wires, plugs or ballast resistor, and it works great. I've owned the car since 1979, and it's never started better. Maybe I should try to download the instructions? ;-)
