    im sure you have seen it, but check out my thread i did on the install, i found the instructions hard to follow so made this picture one up to help other idiots like myself lol:

    Certainly have had a good read mate. Looks like a very easy install.

    Cheers

    there easy to install you cant do much wrong.
    just a little time consuming.
    that is doing it correctly and planing it incase you have to reverse back in emergency.
    don't cut oem wires, make up new loom for pertronic and keep/leave old for easy emergency swap.
    the only pce you need to use is dizzy 2 wire grommet follow directions on this pce.
    cheers

    Ignitor II systems develop up to 4 times more energy between 3000 and 5000 RPM, than standard ignition systems. High RPM performance is improved when used with the Flame-Thrower II super low resistance (0.6 ohms) 45,000 volt coil.


    Adaptive dwell maintains peak energy throughout the entire RPM range, reducing misfires while improving engine performance.
    Develops on average 4 times more available energy between 3000 and 5000 RPM, and 2 times more available plug voltage.
    Peak current level is reached just prior to spark for maximum energy without the heat build-up, increasing coil and module life.
    Adjusts spark timing at higher RPMs to compensate for the inherent electronic delay.
    Senses startup and develops more energy for quicker, easier starting. Built in reverse polarity and over current protection shuts down the system, preventing component damage.
    All the benefits of the Original Ignitor...AND MORE!!!
    The Ignitor II senses current levels in the coil and adjusts the dwell to maintain peak energy throughout the entire RPM range. Dwell angle is increased or decreased with changing engine RPM and operating conditions. This provides more energy at high RPM, reducing misfires while improving engine performance.
    Compared to point-type systems, develops on average 4 times more available energy between 3000 and 5000 RPM, and 2 times more available plug voltage.
    Compared to the original Ignitor, develops on average 3 times more available energy between 3000 and 5000 RPM, and nearly doubles available plug voltage.
    Higher RPM performance is improved when used with the new Flame-ThrowerŽII super low resistance (0.6 ohms) 45,000 volt coil, however, it is compatible with any induction coil.
    Peak current level is reached just prior to spark, so ignition energy is sustained with less heat build-up, increasing coil and module life.
    Adjusts spark timing over the entire RPM range to compensate for the inherent electronic delay, resulting in more stable timing.
    Senses engine startup and increases dwell time, providing more energy for starting sparks.
    Senses incorrectly wired Ignitor II or a "key left on" condition and shuts down the system protecting the coil and other components from damage.
    Compatible with 12-volt negative ground systems.

    I will buy the ignitor 2 in a couple of weeks and report back here on how it is. Would not be able to compare it to the first one though.

    On the pertronix 2 eBay ad I just saw it says this "Suits Nissan GQ Patrol and Ford Maverick with TB42 Carburettor Engines and Points Ignition."
    So it's no good for my TB42E?

    Your tb42e already has electronic ignition and timing is controlled by the ecu so no good to you

    That would explain that...
