Default Re: PERTRONIX Ignitor Ignition 1940 ford Helmet Dist

Don't ask me why/how... But in the crab distributors they are ok units as long as you run the right coil and have the proper primary resistance.

On the Earlier 32-41 distributors, Petronix put the timing tab in the wrong location making it hard to get proper timing although you can get them close.. Also they seem more prone to failures in the 32-41's I dont know why.. I will only install them in the later distributors due to this.

For the Early Distributors, points are your best friend and will peform flawlessly
