hi lads. i lookin for help wil a pertronix ignition system fit my straight 6 coupe. wil it improve spark plug life and improve fuel econonmy and performance.. i know nothing about this to be honest but it was recommend from a friend to get it. any help would be great thanks

 

The main advantage is the lack of maintenance needed with the pertronix it may improve spark plug life and fuel economy but nothing magical, depends on how well maintained and set your points are.

 

For me it was: easier starting (i.e. almost instant) and smoother acceleration (could by psychological, though).

 

wil it fit and work in a straight six. hoe difficlult is it to install

 

Easy i did my v8 and the instruction are good, just get the 6 cylinder kit and new coil you may need to remove the ballast resistor wire. The faq has it all covered.

 

thanks

 

The main improvement is that you won't have to maintain the timing and the points. This could result in longer spark plug life and better power, but only compared to acr that is not properly timed or has worn points. So, if you enjoy setting the timing every 1,000 miles or two months and performing routine maintenance including replacing points, the Pertronix kit is even a disadvantage because it takes the joy of this maintenance away from you.
