설정 및 설치

The PerTronix Ignitor is designed for straightforward installation into your existing distributor. Follow these steps carefully:

1. 준비: Disconnect the vehicle's battery. Remove the distributor cap and rotor. Carefully remove the existing mechanical points and condenser from the distributor.
2. Install Magnet Sleeve: Slide the provided magnet sleeve onto the distributor shaft, ensuring it fits securely over the cam lobes. This sleeve contains the cobalt magnets that interact with the Hall Effect sensor.
3. Mount Ignitor Module: Install the Ignitor module in the position previously occupied by the points. Secure it using the provided hardware. Ensure the module is flat and stable.
4. 배선 연결:
   • Connect the red wire from the Ignitor module to the positive (+) side of the ignition coil.
   • Connect the black wire from the Ignitor module to the negative (-) side of the ignition coil.
   • Ensure all connections are clean and secure. Avoid routing wires near hot or moving engine components.
5. 재조립: Reinstall the distributor rotor and cap. Reconnect the vehicle's battery.
6. 초기 시작: Start the engine. The Ignitor system is designed for stable, adjustment-free timing. No timing adjustments are typically necessary after installation, as the system provides precise timing.

운영 및 이점

The PerTronix Ignitor system replaces the mechanical points and condenser with a reliable electronic switching device. This advanced technology utilizes rotating cobalt magnets paired with a Hall Effect integrated circuit, ensuring precise timing without the wear and tear of moving parts.

Key benefits of the Ignitor system include:

• 향상된 성능: Doubles the voltage delivered to your spark plugs, leading to increased horsepower and improved fuel economy.
• Extended Spark Plug Life: More efficient spark delivery contributes to longer spark plug lifespan.
• 유지 보수 불필요: The robust, epoxy-molded design is impervious to dirt, oil, grease, and moisture, eliminating the need for routine maintenance associated with mechanical points.
• Stable Timing: Provides consistent and precise timing, which does not require adjustment once installed.
• Clean Engine Bay: Integrates seamlessly into your existing distributor, avoiding the need for an external ignition box and preserving the classic under-hood appearance.

유지

The PerTronix Ignitor Electronic Ignition Conversion Kit is designed to be virtually maintenance-free. Its epoxy-molded construction protects internal components from environmental factors such as dirt, oil, grease, and moisture. No periodic adjustments or lubrication are required, unlike traditional mechanical points.

Regularly inspect the wiring connections for any signs of wear or corrosion to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the system.

문제 해결

If you encounter issues with your PerTronix Ignitor system, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• No Spark/Engine Not Starting:
  • Verify all wiring connections are secure and correctly routed (red to coil positive, black to coil negative).
  • 적절한 볼륨을 확인하세요tage at the ignition coil. Ensure the coil is compatible with the Ignitor system (most point type ignition coils are compatible).
  • Inspect the magnet sleeve on the distributor shaft to ensure it is properly seated and intact. A dislodged or damaged magnet can prevent proper operation.
  • Ensure the Ignitor module is securely mounted and not loose.
• Rough Idling/Misfires:
  • While the Ignitor provides stable timing, ensure other ignition components (spark plugs, plug wires, rotor, distributor cap) are in good condition.
  • Check for proper grounding of the distributor and engine.
• 간헐적 작동:
  • This could indicate a loose connection or a failing component. Re-check all wiring.
  • Ensure the module is not overheating due to poor mounting or external heat sources.

If problems persist after following these steps, it is recommended to consult a professional automotive technician or contact PerTronix customer support.
