Pertronix install vs. wiring diagram

Okay 67Dart and Bill.G.

I finally got the concept of rotor phasing. Thnx for the explanations and links.

So, I called Pertronix tech line again this morning and discussed the approx 20' I had to adjust the timing.

I want to be clear, if you read back to my previous threads, you'll see I had a failed distributor in NE on the way to FL. Then the $28 remam unit from O'Reillys was giving me fits itself. The dist shaft cam didn't have lobes, it had "points" that were wearing off the follower shoe on the points arm. I had the timing set at a shop in NE the first time the points went south after replacing the dist, but I probably had the gap / dwell wrong when that was done. Nonetheless, I was able to get home with three more sets and multiple adjustments. Good thing they're cheap... LOL

What the tech guy did tell me was that compared to a properly adjusted set of points, one would expect to see a change in timing of approx 7' after installing Pertronix Ignitor I. He also said rotor phasing stays within stock specs.

Hope this answers everyone's concerns. I've definitely learned a loe.

Thnx, Mike in FL
