Update:
Pertronix II ignitor system lasted longer that the Ignitor I unit but ended up leaving me stranded only after a few months of use. Maybe it would have lasted longer with a ballast resistor but Pertronix instructions are to not use one. I have since purchased and installed a Mallory Marine Unilite Distributor PN# YLU554DV and have been running strong since, fingers crossed for the long run. "I" would steer clear of Pertronix electric upgrade to anyone thinking about going down this road, on this application at least. I spent an ample amount of time on here, with Pertronix customer service, checking and rechecking everything with voltage meter and such, not to mention wasted lots of money! Save yourself the time, hassle, and money. |

Go back to a point set. A EI conversion IS NOT a upgrade!!

I agree with Pete, per his advice in past posts, I removed my EI and went back to points. Everything has been working great since!
