I installed a Pertronix Ignitor model 1863 (early style distributor) in my 72 last night and drove it 50 miles today. It works great!

I would highly recommend it as a replacement for stock points based on my experience thus far. The cam lobes on my dizzy were somewhat worn and this lets me basically forget about all those problems.

The installation was effortless with my MSD. Points out, ignitor in, make sure it's not rubbing anywhere, red wire to switched +12V (engine fuse block middle fuse), black wire to male spade to existing points wiring (MSD points pickup and tach). Set timing. Took me less than an hour and I even took the distributor out to give me more room to work.

Tach works great, no jumping at idle, throttle response is nice and strong from idle to > 5k.

I am using a rev limiting rotor and apparently it fits. I'll check it soon to make sure there isn't any rubbing of the rotor on the cap where it shouldn't be.

If I did a better job of hiding the wiring, you'd never know it was there.
