which is better - oem non points or petronix

i have used the pertronix ignitor in the past with no problems at all
it is a snap to install and the price is much better than buying a new distrib.

I bought a Unilite because my old distributor was shot and I didn't want to have to fart around with points; if my distributor was worth a nickel I would have used the Petronix, so my vote would be there.

I am installing the Pertronix unit when I re-install the engine(shortly I hope). The cost was about $65 for the Ignitor and about $35 for the Flame Thrower Coil. A lot of posters have gone with this setup, with a lot of positive comments(some not) that's why I chose this setup

do i have to replace the coil also?

You don't have to replace the coil, but I would. You will get a little better spark running the flamethrower coil.

No, not necessary, but I was doing my whole engine anyway.

I've run all three - points, Pertronix, and the Ford Duraspark. I wouldn't trade my Duraspark II for anything else. A Unilite might be nice but for the money the Ford Duraspark is a much better deal and a snap to wire in. Hooking it up to an MSD is no problem either. An MSD Billet piece would be great but I've never seen one for the falcon motor...

We have the pertronix unit for 55.00 and the Flamethrower coils for 28.00. Thanks Matt Ponderosa Mustang 1 850 857 1084

You don't necessarily have to but I did when I dropped in my distributor, it supposedly produces a better spark but I didn't notice much a difference, other than the new one says Mallory on it and its purdier than the old one /forums/images/icons/wink.gif.

Matt, I tried your webpage, but it was down....How much for shipping the pertronix unit & coil?

I have used the petronix unit in three mustangs and had no problems. A snap to install and does not require a coild change. The cars start right up all the time.
