Alex's 240Z Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Does anyone know if the Pertronix Ignitor designed for single point or dual point distributor or does it matter? My '72 Z has a dual point distributor. I bought the Ignitor and either I'm a real dummy and can't install this; or they sent me the wrong one or maybe it's not designed for a dual point distribitor. Thanks in advance for the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rags Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Although not 100% sure, I'd say it will only work in single point dizzy's sice it is mounting in the same position as the points and there is a difference with the way a single and dual setup mount.

willembop Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 The part number for the 240z Pertronix unit that I see listed on line specifies single point distributor only. I don't see a listing for the dual point unit. Find a junk yard single point distributor and put the Pertronix in it. BTW Leave the wire that went to the secondary points disconnected -- it was only there to retard timing for emission purposes, not for higher performance.
