Pertronix 1281 Ignitor Kit For Original Motorcraft Distributors. 8-Cylinder, Single Point, Vacuum Advance, 12-Volt Negative Ground. Typically Found In 1957-74 Ford Vehicles.

***EDIT*** Still running well. The Truck isn't a daily driver and did sit for a year and a half. At almost 4 years old it now runs the new 390 upgrade and it feels good. no stumbles. These are such a great way to upgrade an old points system to a great firing and higher power system. That said.... I am going to buy a second one as a back up. I keep a coil, solenoid, voltage regulator, and some other parts in the Truck at all times. These old rigs always had something going on and yes these will fail. I'll be happy to have a spare, I can field repair most anything and keep her on the road. Super happy with this purchase! Easy install in a 1971 F-250. Stock 360 and distributor. I got behind the dash and cut the resistor wire and spliced a nice replacement wire to it. The pink wire is your balast/resistor wire for stock applications. You can connect to it but it’s bringing 9-10 volts to the coil. After trimming mine I have maybe 2” of the original and good copper from there to the coil giving me 13-14 volts.

Easy install! Performance is great!

worked for husband's needs.

Got stranded a couple time due to condensers constantly crapping out on me, got real tired of it, everyone says they don’t make condensers any good these days and I believe it, the cost effective solution is to ditch the points and throw one of these boys in there. Not sure if this is super necessary but after reading the paper that came with the kit I ran a new ignition wire to get rid of the inline resistor so the coil could get full battery voltage. Smoother, predictable, and fuel efficient upgrade, literally no cons

I installed this on a 1974 F250 with a .360 engine a year and a half ago and have had absolutely no issues with it. Very easy install. Fired right up, and still does today. A little better gas mileage, and runs better with more pep than the standard point set that was on it. No modifications necessary to install- dropped right in place and wired up easily. Did some research, reviewed the Accel units ( a bit more expensive), went with thie pertronix due to the positive reviews; reilaibility, ease of install, and Pertronix product quality reputation. I think we paid about $24.00 on Amazon, got a great deal on this one to say the least! I had my doubts over such an inexpensive and easy to install kit, but its been running excellent since the day I installed it. Very pleased with the quality, install process, and performance.

Works great. No more replacing or adjusting points. Everything is under the cap, retains original look. The only down side were the terminals, they were too big to go through the grommet hole in the distributor. I had to cut them off and install new ones. The terminals should be included but not installed.

My 66 mustang is very happy to get its old points & condenser replaced (now backing up the recycle bin) with a Pertronix 1281 Ignitor. Installation was simple. I trimmed off 10 inches from the pos & neg wires because I the coil is close to the distributor. I used 18-22 AWG #10 stud ring terminal crimp connectors and heat wrap. Bending the ring terminals to fit through the distributor hole makes them not fit on the coil terminals so better to cut them off and put on new ones after installing inside the distributor. Car started right up but the timing was a little advanced. Good thing my neighbor had a timing light.

Very pleased a great up grade ,cost efficient,more durable than stock equipment ,reliable when used correctly and a little more power and smoother running with a few adjustments, the last install was 73 mustang 302 stock 54000 original miles and get roughly 19-24 miles to the gallon under easy driving. Could not be happier

Das Beste Ersatzteil, was du deinem Ford Mustang Oldtimer antun kannst! Doppelt so hohe Zündleistung bedeutet, kaum ist der Schlüssel herumgedreht, läuft die Kleine auch schon! Wichtig: 12V Spannung von hinterm Zündschloss (Zündungsplus) abnehmen. Nicht die 9V vom bisherigen Wiederstandskabel. TOP Produkt!

Muy buen sistema, mejoró notablemente el funcionamiento de mi carro.

I liked the simplicity of design and installation. My "67 Mustang convertible had its first long trip today since replacing the old points set-up, car now goes like a dream.

Works excellent

Perfekt! Danke!
