Electronic Distributor Conversion Kits ??
Has anyone used one of the PerTronix IgnitorŪ Solid-State Ignition Systems? I am thinking about buying one for my 62 Tempest. I am in the process of a complete re-wire of the car. I know that the original wiring had a resistor wire going to the coil. All of the original wiring has been removed. My options are to use a ceramic resistor and keep the points distributor, or update to the electronic conversion and skip the resistor. Figured now was a good time to do it.

Nothing but bad luck with them. I had the one that if you had the key on and the distributor was just right it would NUKE it self. You also had to pull the distributor gear to set the thing up. There was a ring that ran thru a pick up with an air gap (clearance) that never ran straight. JUNK in my book. Have SE Breakerless in both my tempest with no problems. If they ever failed just remove distributor cap and install points and be on your way. Just My Opinion

I have one of the conversion kits in my tempest and it works great. I chose to do the petronix coil as well. No more changing points!!!

That's the smaller aluminum one. Do you have a picture with the petronix conversion kit?
