Default Re: Electronic ignition kit for model a

I had a Pertronix on a 41 Packard. It worked flawlessly. I used their coil. The only problem I had was due to a ignition switch that was a little corroded. I lost some voltage through that switch. You MUST have at least 4.5 volts for the pertronix to work.(6 volt system). I ran a separate wire from the battery to the coil with a toggle switch, cured the low voltage problem. I used the Pertronix for many years without trouble. Just make sure you specify positive ground. John
