Petronix questions

I've had the pertronix 1 and pertronix 3.0 ohm coil for 12 years without any problems in my 64 valiant with slant 6


Using the 3.0 ohm coil allows you to get rid of the ballast resistor.

I talked to the pertronix tech, and the 3.0 ohm coil was recommended over the 1.5 ohm coil and ballast (even the pertronix 1.5 ohm coil, so they were selling a coil either way).

No problems starting either.


The pertronix 1 is the dumb box, it can't compensate for coil ohms, so make sure it adds up to 3.0....
