Pertronix

[Jim Altemose <jaltemoose@xxxxxxxxx>]

I know a lot of you have had trouble with the Pertronix Ignitor.  Now
so have I, I think.  In my 63 Polara 500 with a 383, a Pertronix
Ignitor was installed by a previous owner.  I'm getting a strong spark
from the coil to the distributor, but nothing to the plugs, so I'm
ready to blame the Pertronix.

Any recommendations on replacing it?  My first inclination would be
get a direct replacement and maybe a spare, unless there are better
options.  I looked on Summit and had a little trouble figuring out
which Ignitor P/N is right for the old 383.  Also, there's Ignitor II
and Ignitor III.  Of course these cost more.  Is there any advantage?
Should I upgrade the coil as well as per their recommendation?

As always, thanks for any advice.
