Not sure why u want the e-ignition but to each his own.

Be sure to carry a SPARE control module in the car for the e-ignition. What's the cost of a spare control module?????


Quote:
ok. What do u do when the e-ignition control module becomes an "issue" (when it goes bad)???? Is a bad control module in someway better than a bad condensor???? Condensor about $5. Control module $50-$200.

No one who actually runs a Pertronix has ever reported a failure. You're more likely to blow two tires, throw a driveshaft, or other issue causing your car to need to be towed than have the Pertronix fail and need towed. The only people who worry about failures are people who haven't run one. I've run 3 on different models so far over the last 5 or so years, and none have ever failed. . . . With that said, you can swap the breaker plate on the side of the road to run it back to points if you're that worried

Question from Packard V8 on Page 3 of this topic:
Quote:
ok. So those of u running the e-ignition WITHOUT points used in the circuit and regardless of brand, what do u do when the control module goes bad AND u're stuck out on the side of the road somewhere?????? Do u carry an extra control module for emergency roadside repair or what???? What does an extra control module cost?????


Move we agree henceforth Packard V8 does not recommend electronic ignitions. Is there a second to this motion?
