Ditto

I had problems making reliable distributor and spark plug connections with spiral wound wire. When I pitched the Pertronix, I replaced all with Packard 440 and Raja plug connectors. It interfered badly with the AM/FM radio and the SiriusXM I hid in there. As Tubman noted above, a 1 ft spiral wound piece from the coil to the distributor completely solved the problem.





BTW, the Pertronix worked fine on my 12V car; no complaints. I just would rather have something I can fix if ignition gives problems on the road. So, far, so good on points, but I carry a spare distributor and coil in the trunk. No need for spare condenser, because I use one of Tubman's cans.
