PerTronix (71181): Ignitor III with Digital Rev Limiter for Delco 8-Cylinder

Providing ignition box performance without the box, the Ignitor III ignition module from PerTronix offers five times more spark energy than points systems for your Delco eight-cylinder application.

Pertronix (1181): Ignitor Electronic Ignition Conversion Kit

For more than 40 years, the Ignitor has proved itself in applications ranging from race cars to tractors. The Ignitor replaces breaker points and troublesome factory electronic ignitions with a dependable, self-contained, and maintenance-free electronic ignition system. The Ignitor has been called the “stealth” ignition because of its quick installation and nearly undetectable presence under your distributor cap.

Features:

  • Delivers twice the voltage to the spark plugs, increasing horsepower, fuel economy, and spark-plug life.
  • 2:1 improvement over “points” in current fall time for increased coil output.
  • Rotating cobalt magnets trigger a Hall Effect integrated circuit: no points to burn or moving parts to wear out.
  • Epoxy molding makes our module impervious to dirt, oil, grease, and moisture.
  • Stable timing: no need for adjustment.
  • Legal in all 50 states and Canada (C.A.R.B. E.O. #D-57-22).
