Do you need to use Pertronix?

MSD has a great coil for our engines. The MSD High Vibration Blaster Coil - 8222 - is one of the most common replacements. Of course, most folks are also equipped with a MSD 6A or 6AL. You may already have a Pertronix ignition box???

With a CDI it's best to use an "E & I" laminated iron core transformer type "coil" rather than the simple "I" core coil.

Excellent tutorial, even OUTSTANDING..

Quick read, page 45-46 and 58.
