PerTronix 1282 Details

The original Ignitor module is ideal for restorations. Ignitor Module Kits are extremely easy to install and fit into your original distributor to maintain your stock look. No additional ignition box is required keeping a clean look under the hood.

Ignitors are available for most distributors that came with mechanical breaker points and will cover AUTOMOTIVE, MARINE, INDUSTRIAL and AGRICULTURE applications.

For the specified 1954-56 Ford V8 ignition-conversion application.
Fits inside the specified original distributor to maintain a stock-looking engine bay.
Electronic ignition conversion replaces mechanical breaker-point operation.
Self-contained design requires no additional ignition box.
Designed for straightforward installation in the matching distributor.
Eliminates routine breaker-point replacement for a lower-maintenance ignition setup.

The installation of this kit was easy to accomplish, went exactly as the instructions said, and the biggest point is...no more points! I actually felt the difference after installing this kit, more pep in the engine. I also used the Pertronix coil and everything worked right the first time.
