Opinions on ignition systems

I'm a PerTronix dealer. For the guys that said there isn't a PerTronix kit for the Mopar electronic distributors, there is. It's # CH-181 for the original Ignitor, and 9CH-181 for the Ignitor II. I've installed bunch of the 9CH-181's and they work great.

They don't have an Ignitor III kit for the electronic distributor at this time, but they do have a stock appearing small block distributor available with the Ignitor III in it. I haven't brought one in yet, but it's part # D7144600. They don't have a B/RB version out yet.

I wanted III so went to a point type Mopar dizzy. No issues, but wish it would fit in the Mopar electronic dizzy cause it is easier to use the FBO plate to limit total advance. Just had to weld the slots to get where I needed. Cat's meow would be if it was available for the original Prestolite DP, then a real authentic look could have been achieved. I do keep the complete point breaker plate in the glove box just in case something fails and can insert a get home fix.

The complete Pertronix dizzy units I have seen pictured on this site have a really crappy mechanical advance set-up that was hokey at best, but I would venture to say " Pure Crap"! They really need to make a few more drop in units that fit the various Mopar dizzy's.
