Pertronix Ignitor
 

Comments? Wondering if it's worth the $ to lose the points on my stock '74 2.7.
Thanks.

I have had good luck with mine for over 5 years. Timing never changes and it has been fool proof so far. Has worked well with the original 3 pin CDI box too.

Works "Great" well worth the money and just plane simple.

Search function is your friend on this site. I have used Pertronix on my '72 and '74, both worked fantastic but you might use some loctite on the mount bracket screw. I also could not get my '72's rev limiter rotor to fit under the cap afterwards so I had to use a standard Bosch rotor. YMMV

Best thing I ever bought for my 914. Easy install, works perfectSmileWavy

Eliminated all sorts of points problems I had on my 76 stock 2.7L. Well worth the expenditure.

Many thanks all. I'll put one on my "get" list.

i'll just add that i had a positive experience as well. didn't give me quicker starts but much steadier idle.

Ditto,
Was talking to Jerry Woods, about my rebuild, he suggested the Pertronix, when I said I already had one installed he just smiled and nodded.
Jerry em!

Installed one on another flat six, eight or so years ago, my lady's '62 Corvair 'vert. Works well.

I had the Pertronix in 4 diffident cars. I removed it from all of them when I realized they always kept the same ignition timing, but all cylinders were significantly different. This was quite a few years ago , but I believe I saw 6-8 degrees difference between cylinders on all 4 cars. I put the points back in, all of the cars ran smoother.
I contacted Pertronix and discussed it with their engineers. They recognized this is a flaw, but had no intention to fix it. The problem is there in no time averaging and no compensation for the differences in magnet strength for the 6 magnets.
Most of the 911s have CD therefore the points don't burn and will last a very long time.
