Re: electronic ignition recommendation
Pertronix is a point/condensor replacement unit. It is an electronic switch instead of a electro-mechanical switch. It allows for a much stronger spark to get to the plugs without a set of points to burn up. Especially with the proper coil it does give you a better spark without any of the adjustment hassles of points. It is definitely a great place to start and maybe as far as you really need to go.<br /><br />It is not, however, a full electronic ignition system such as one of the various capacitive discharge or digital systems that can be used in conjunction with the Pertronix. Just be sure you get the Pertronix II version. It has 'key left on' protection and variable dwell. Without the (II) version, you leave key on, unit burns out!<br /><br />iboats ought to put some marine distributor versions in stock. They'd problably sell a lot of them.
