I had a Pertronix installed on my 66, I thought it worked fine till I drove up to LA (from san diego). Off the exit the car started to die at low rpm. It was like the gas was bad, I had 92 with a 118 oct boost added. I couldn't figure out what it was, replaced the coil and mounted it on the firewall, still nothing. Cleaned out the gas tank fuel lines and added another fuel filter (needed to be done anyway) still nothing. Removed the carb, cleaned it, put it back on; still problems. Replaced the pertronix ignition with point; its like a new car. Now I have electronic ig on my 65 merc its msd and works fine. I am reluctant to put it on the crown because I have heard people having problems with it. Strangely enough most Chrysler fanatics prefer the pertronix system and most swear by it. Mine went bad and it took such a long time to isolate the problem that I have given up on installing a new one. Anyone else ever had the same problem?

Subject: IML: Electronic Ignition
Hi All,
I would appreciate your thoughts, experiences and opinions on installing
electronic ignition in my '68. Which would be best for the Imperial
application, i.e., 440, stock cam, dual exhaust, 2.93 axle ratio. I want to
be sure I am using a distributor with the proper advance curve, both
mechanical and vaccum.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
