Question for the pertronix experts. I ran accros this thread looking for answers to something totaly diffrent but it caught my attention . My conern is this. I recently had my points changed out to pertronix on my 1951 216 12V . The mechanic that did the job did not change out the stock coil or the spark plug wires. Is it necessary to install the pertronix flame thrower along with the pertronix wires ? And if so does the gap on the spark plugs need to be changed from the recomended gap when using points ? Also does the timing need to be reajusted? I guess a simpler question is can i swap the stock coil to flame thrower and the spark plug wires to the pertronix wires to mach the pertronix ignition without having to mess with the timing and the spark plug gap and is all this even necessary?
