What does a PerTronix ignitor do?
Test results show the Ignitor® delivers twice the voltage to the spark plugs, increasing horsepower, fuel economy and plug life. The Ignitor® offers a 2:1 improvement over “point type” systems in current fall time for increased coil output.
Which PerTronix coil do I need?
The 3.0-ohm coil should be used on PerTronix Ignitors installed on four- and six-cylinder engines while 1.5-ohm coils should be used for eight-cylinder applications. These coils can be used on virtually any inductive (non-capacitive discharge) ignition system.
What is inside PerTronix Ignitor?
The Pertronix “Ignitor” has a typical configuration of a modern Hall Effect triggering system. There are two pieces—a small triggering module that replaces the points and condenser in the distributor via a small adapter plate, and a magnetic sleeve that slides over the lobes and sits under the rotor.
Does PerTronix coils need a ballast resistor?
As the pertronix unit itself needs a full 12v. Look on the coil it will say 6v or 12v. If its 6v then you need a resistor to prevent heat build up in the coil. If its 12v it will take the full 12v like the pertronix.
Can you change a distributor to electronic ignition?
When converting from points to electronic ignition, you’ve got two options. You can either convert your existing distributor, or you can install a new distributor. Advance Auto Parts offers kits that allow you to remove the old points components from inside your distributor and replace them with new ones.
Do I need to use a ballast resistor with electronic ignition?
The electronic ignition systems don’t use breaker points, so they don’t need a ballast Resistor to control the pickup coil.
How do I convert my distributor to electronic?
What does a ballast resistor do?
A ballast resistor helps to regulate the current and voltage in an electrical system. It helps equipment from experiencing overcurrent and overvoltage events. Ballast resistors are mostly used in automotive and lighting applications.

What is a pertronix points conversion kit?
A Pertronix Points Conversion kit allows you to run a stock distributor while improving the reliability and performance of your ignition system. The Pertronix Ignitor kits simply bolt to the distributor in place of the points assembly and provide a much more accurate trigger signal.
