Which PERTRONIX ignition?

Post by DocLong »

Which pertronix electronic ignition do I need for my stock 73 412?

Sometimes I can't check here (I'm in Iraq) so PLEASE e-mail me the info I'm looking for. Thanks.

According to their catalog it should take part # 1847V for stock 411/412 and 914 ignitions. I have found (unless tehs have made changes) to really work perfectly it will take minor mods to the bracket that goes inside teh dizzy...like 3-5 minutes with a file in order to not strike any mounting screws on teh dizzy body and impede spark advance. I have also found that the magnetic ring fits oddly on the dizzy cam. I usually make a thin spacerring of metal and plastic and JB weld into the hole in teh core. It has never let me down from that point on. Well worth the money. Ray
