Eastwood lists them for $82.00 (www.eastwood.com) with 10% off thru 12/31. although states it for 6 cyl. 54-62. Don't know if it would fit a 216. Believe it's the best price i've seen. Nick K. 51 261 3100 74 454 Vette Oak Island, NC James Tye <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: That sounds like wha

Back in my Ford building days, I had a 66 F100 I installed a pertronix into, it worked great for a long time, then it developed this syndrome where it would shut off while driving every now and then under acceleration. Long story short it was the same deal, the plastic of the reluctor where i

They don't do direct sales , you'll need to get the correct part number from them then order it up from any hot rod parts place , I've been able to get them for less by going to the V.W. parts places Pertronix is in San Dimas , Ca. but they don't want to deal directly with the customer

THANX , Roy ~ several people have told me about this same problem and I didn't know the answer , the ' Hoobie ' is called the Reluctor and yes , it needs to be correctly aligned with the Hall Effect Generator on the breaker plate to function well . there's also an air gap measurement betwee

If you look up Deves most excellent site there's a simple tech writeup on valve adjustment you can do with the _hot_ engine stationary , you'll like it I think . Fentons are cool (sort of) but always have fittment issues as the ears for the special washers are different heights than the ear

Recent experience on the Pertronix. They have apparently improved the design in that no resistance check was asked for. I am using a stock coil no problem. Mine is a 6V system and the engine is a 216. It does all that Nate says it does. However, I ran into a problem that had me scratching my he
