The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area The Electrical Bay Pertronix Igniter II, III

I’ve had great success with Pertronix in all three of my stovebolts. The 45 GMC I just recently sold I put 12k miles on it over 11 years. That truck when I bought it already had Pertronix installed. I converted my 1959 GMC Napco, and also my 1949 GMC suburban. Both are performing well. I already have another Pertronix lined up for my Pontiac straight 8. There’s guys on here that don’t even drive stovebolts or even own one telling you what to do. I purposely set up my suburban and Napco with points and then converted to see if I could feel the difference. And I could! What’s the worse thing that can happen? Try it out and if you have a failure then go back to points. But before it “might” fail you’ll experience better starting, more performance and better fuel economy. I also feel like your truck better be in top shape wiring and ignition circuit wise. No cobbled up wire harness, patched in homemade connections ect. I also use the Pertronix coil, and plug wires. The complete package.
