points to electronic ignition

[HILLBILLY BOY]

I have the pertronix kit fitted to mine with the extended rotor button and GT40R coil, so far it has not let me down. I changed the coil from an oil filled one to the epoxy one as the oil filled one used to break down on hot days and caused the car to miss and carry on, changed to an epoxy one and never looked back.

Hi Guys, can anyone fill me in on the pertronix kit? I have a mav 88 4.2 and really need to do some work to it. It misses and carries on and I really need it run alot better than it does. I have read about the rotor button and Im thinking of this, but also about changing it to electronic ignition. Could you also fill me in if the kits come with instructions? Is it hard to do?

I used the Pertronix kit that they don't want to sell currently. It was easy to install and is going well. It is the lobe sensing one. didn't change the coil - a bosch GT40

The other one requires more dissie work, but is apparently better. I got mine through a crowd in Melbourne which you'll read about here if you search.

Hey everyone,
So I should be receiving my kit tomorrow. I am looking forward to seeing if it runs better. I was told I had to have the 3.0 ohm coil. I got the lobe sensing one with a black (I think) coil that runs at 3.0 ohm. Heres hoping! Just wondering though, does anyone have the rotor button (extended version) and the kit and new coil? I was told by this person that I shouldn't need the rotor button after I put the coil and pertronix kit in... what do you guys think?

I've herd reports about the Pertronix kit failing, I've gone with the crane fireball XR3000 with a bosch high energy coil(full EFI coil 45000V) huge spark (haven't been bitten by it yet ) runs sweet right through the rev range till 5000rpm

I have the pertonix 2 and flamethrower coil. Hasnt missed a beat, goes great. Not a real easy DIY but managable. have standard popints and coil stored on board for an emergancy when away from home. But 36000 k's down the road and the old dogs running sweet.
