Easy to install. Just make sure you make sure you connect it correct or it will burn out. Also do not leave the ignition on to long without starting the engine.

Take 10 minutes and never set points again! Worth every penny and runs SO much better, highly recommend this upgrade!

ive owned several of these on various vehicles over several decades and always a quality product made in good ole’ USA.But the magnetic collar for the 009 dizzy is a bit tall, causing the rotor bottom shoulder to ride a bit too tall inside the cap. CHECK THE CLEARANCE between the bottom of the rotor shoulder and the mag sleeve top or your rotor button inside the center of the cap will wear prematurely. Check for a gap between with a flashlight from behind or a .010″ feeler gauge. I ground my rotor shoulder down on the side of a rotating bench grinder wheel to desired clearance. Under no circumstances should the bottom of the rotor touch the magnetic collar! Always a gap and check carefully 360 degrees

Easy to fit, worked straight out of the box, timing did need adjusting but may have been caused by the previous ignition setup. Have yet to try it long term but that won’t happen for 6 months.

When switching from points and condenser, easy install. Smooth idle and timing.

This ignition set fit the engine with no need for modification. Instructions are easy to follow. Never need to replace or adjust points again. Easy to install. Would highly recommend

The part was loose in the box and on closer inspection showed wear marks. The magnetic ring also had play on the distributor shaft. This was clearly a used part and I immediately returned it. I’m not the only one that had this experience (see other 1 start reviews). Is this Pertronix shop not checking their return items and simply trying to sell them again as new??
