- Original Ignitor model is the least expensive way to upgrade to PerTronix upgrade
The original PerTronix Ignitor is perfect for stock classic cars that don't have high performance engines, but could benefit from a smoother idle, faster starting, and more consistent performance throughout the rpm range. |
- Four times more spark energy between 3,000-5,000 rpm
- Twice the available voltage at spark plugs
- "Smart system" micro controller adapts dwell for consistent peak energy through the RPM range, reduced misfiring and improved overall performance
- Peak current level is reached just prior to spark for maximum energy with minimal heat build up
- Senses start up and develops more energy to ensure faster, more consistent starting under all conditions
- Reverse polarity and over current protection
- Senses a "key on" condition and shuts down automatically for protection
- Legal in all 50 states and Canada (meets C.A.R.B. E.O. #D-57-2)

We recommend the Pertronix Ignitor II Kit over the original Ignitor for several reasons, the main one being that it has a built-in circuit that protects it from damage if the ignition is inadvertently left on without the engine running. This can burn up the electronics in the original version, and for that reason alone we recommend the upgraded kit for a slightly higher price. It's well worth the additional expense, for the peace of mind you gain. Most will also not need the rev limiter feature offered on the Ignitor III, which will save you some money. |
- Latest Ignitor model for high performance engines
- Five times more spark energy than points
- Multi-spark through the entire RPM range (all the way to redline!)
- Improved combustion
- Increased spark energy provides more horsepower and better fuel economy
- REV limit can be set by user—accurate to +/- 50 rpm
- Memory safe function for user settings
- LED user feedback for rev limit confirmation
- Senses crank orientation from either the distributor cam lobe or a magnetic sleeve
- Legal in all 50 states and Canada (meets C.A.R.B. E.O. #D-57-8)
