What do you guys prefer to run; points converted with the pertronix kits or the mopar performance electronic ignitions? any experiences with which is better?

I run the pertronix conversion in a points dist,installed in my 85 truck,never a problem in 9 yrs,spins to 6200rpms,works for me

is it better than the MP?...maybe..maybe not

my vote is on the pertronix

I leave the mopar crap under the hood and use a point dist converted to pertonix no problem period more then I can say for the Mopar stuff

I have the pertronix on all of my cars which used to have points and it has worked excellently for me. I think the one in my valiant must be almost 15 years old now and still works great.

I always use pertronix, never had any problems

Pertronix converted distributors, the only way to go, the Factory or MP electronic ignition is just frought with to many componets, destined to fail, the Pertronix if installed correctly with the required componets, is very reliable, and trouble free, the car starts better, runs better, the cap stays clean, no carbon tracking, no pitting/burning on the rotor, and the benefit of getting rid of the ballast resistor is another plus,....until something else comes along better, the Pertronix is all I'll run,......got tired of "foolin" with all the other crap over the years

Pertronix stuff is OK up to a point, say in a moderate HP build up to 550 HP or so. I've been running it for a couple of years. I'd like to add their Second Strike box to the system for giggles, although I'm starting to look at the IC & E stuff.

Hmmm...I just had a pertronix unit fry on me. No spark at all...I just switched to a Mopar conversion.

anyone use the pertronix II? how did you lke it?

I used a petronix ignitor II in a 318 poly. It works great, never had a problem.

My 273 has a mopar setup...I'm going to be putting the old distributor with a Petronix conversion in her these next coming weeks when I'm doing all the other work I need.

I don't know if it was just mine, but the distributor was crap. Every cap I put on there I've had problems. None of the caps seem to stay in place where they're supposed to. I've even tried using different clips thinking that maybe the clips were just weak. Nope.

Ignitor III billet dizzy in a 383 here. Really changed how the car starts and runs. I really like it.

I ordered this for my 440....I hope that it isn't a waste of money.

Had Pertronix conversion kit on my car for several years...had several coils go out. Switched to mopar elect ignition for last few years..no problems! Just chance or what? i dont know..but it has me thinking that the petronix was possible killing coils maybe?

I was just using cheap coils from the local auto parts stores. I did not bypass the resistor, did not check voltage, ended up just swaping over to a mopar kit.
