Pertronix timing Questions

[usadventureracing]

Does anyone have a part number pertronix ignition, I would like to order one for my 2.25, does it matter that I do not know what head I have 8:1 or 7:1? thanks

^^ There is an application guide on the Pertronix web site.

I have also just changed this rover out to pointless ignition. I upgraded this time and bought the whole dizzy and the kit all at the same time . BP was the seller... Our hosts do not sell it , as far as I know. Funny, they sent me the dizzy complete with points installed, and the kit taped on top....?... They said the pertronix dizz was crap and fell apart in about a year, so don't buy the pertronix dizz ,
Easyest conversion ever , This is my second one.
Cheers.

Pertronix part number

It's an LU143 , very hard to install, might take you all of 5 min....

I think it depends on your Dizzy...mine is a 25D, which uses PN: LU-142A. If its a 45D I believe Lord Icon is right, LU-143. You can tell your Dizzy by (in my case cleaning the housing and then...) looking at the housing, it should be stamped on it.

Anyone out there running the Pertronix distributor have a problem with it's quality?

Just a question, I'm planning on checking my timing on my sIII, it has the pertronix, what degree TDC are you setting at?

well for mine I have it set at TDC and it seems (to the ear) to run nice and smooth around town. I may re-adjust if that changes.

Not necessarily, according to the Pertonix application book.

To the OP: Use the application guide, and not what people tell you:
