With over 3,000,000 (yes that's THREE MILLION!!!) units sold world-wide over the past 30+ years, you know that when you purchase a Pertronix Ignitor®, you are spending your money on a reliable product THAT WORKS!!

The Pertronix Ignitor® is a solid-state electronic ignition system that replaces your points and condenser, fitting completely within the distributor housing, under the cap. With no "external black box" to clutter your engine compartment or compromise your "stock-look" classic, the Ignitor® allows you to "hide some horses under your cap".

So what do I get?

An Ignitor® kit comprises of:
 • A molded epoxy 'module' that is either mounted, or can be mounted on a base plate designed
    for a specific distributor. Two wires from the module connect to the coil;
 • A 'magnet ring' or 'magnet assembly' which mounts on the shaft of your distributor;
 • Instructions, Warranty Information, Additional Information and any screws, nuts, washers or
    terminals required to install your unit.

How does it work?

The 'magnet assembly' mounted on your shaft contains cobalt magnets which rotate, triggering the
electronic switching module (Hall Effect integrated circuit) as each magnet passes.

What are the benefits of the Ignitor? Well, where do we start...?
•	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.
•	With the electronics molded in epoxy, there is no deterioration in performance from dirt, oil, grease or moisture (better foul weather performance).
•	There are no moving and rubbing parts to wear out or effect performance, and no more points to burn, pit or corrode.
•	Fits entirely inside the distributor, with no "black box" to clutter your engine compartment.
•	Stable timing - no need for any adjustments or "minor tune-ups".
•	No complicated wiring makes installation easy.
•	Compatible with 12-volt negative ground systems (some applications available for 6-volt negative ground and 6 and 12-volt positive ground systems.
•	Works great in stock point-type distributors as a trigger for multi-spark CD ignitions, eliminating the need for expensive aftermarket distributors.
	Guaranteed for 30 Months...We stand behind it!!!

So how well does the Ignitor® work?

The performance of an Ignitor® is dependent on all of the components in your Ignition system. For better performance, you must ensure that these components are in good condition, including the distributor cap, rotor button, spark plug leads, spark plugs, ground connections, injectors etc.

That said, we are very pleased with the feedback received from our customers over the years. Some report horsepower and/or fuel economy increases beyond their expectations. Others report no real increases, but claim that the fast starts first time, every time, the reliability and the benefits of never having to change points again or perform minor tune-ups is well worth it.

In a recent unsolicited test, a mild 350 Chev with moderate engine modifications and a Mallory Twin-Point Distributor recorded a benchmark dyno run of 195hp at the wheels (ATW). After installing the Ignitor® and a Flame-Thrower® Coil, making no other adjustments and every attempt to duplicate the test conditions, the vehicle recorded 205hp ATW!!!! That's a 10hp or 5% gain just by bolting in the Ignitor® and a compatible Flame-Thrower® coil!!!

With results like these, 30+ years manufacturing and development experience, over 3,000,000 units sold and a 30 Month Warranty, how can you go wrong?

What have the experts said about the Ignitor®?

Over the years, many magazines have tested the Pertronix Ignitor® and given their own opinion of the product. With so many positive responses, Pertronix coined the phrase:
"With friends like these, who needs advertising hype?"
