a new Pertronix coil or can I use my old one with a new igniter?
I got the ignition Pertronix replaced but did not replace the coil, it hasn't quit yet?

The new coil is about 40,000 volts and it is well worth the price. Really makes an electronic dist come alive.

installing the new coil makes a huge difference. installed a pertronix on my '47 F**d and still can't get over how much better things work. just make sure all the connections are clean and the crimp connectors are tight.
