Overall Assessment

Customers highly recommend the product for its ease of installation and noticeable improvement in vehicle performance. The product fits well and works as expected, offering smooth engine running and maintenance-free ignition especially valuable in hard-to-reach areas. Users appreciate no longer needing a feeler gauge, with some expressing surprise at the ease of installation even in older models, praising it as a significant upgrade over points and condenser. A few specifically lauded the PerTronix electronic ignition and the PerTronix "Flame Thrower" for transforming their vehicles into more revving machines. The reviews highlight the products' practicality and quality in improving vehicle performance.

Pertonix Ignition

In my opinion, this is one of the best improvements you can make on a car that came with points. I don't think you get a real increase in performance but you do get quick starts and a smooth running engine and maintenance free ignition. I have had one in my boat for years and it has been trouble free. Put it in and forget about it.

WOW! What a DIFFERENCE!! I bought both the PerTronix electronic ignition, and the PerTronix "Flame Thrower" high output coil .. a new set of plugs, and it turned My 56 Buick 322 Cu In Nailhead into a revving monster! That 6000 lb Buick Super will squall the tires! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND BOTH Products.. NO B/S!
