Got one coming in the mail with flamethrower II coil, any tips on install or are the instructions pretty straight foward?
Not running the vacuum advance if that makes a difference.
cheers

You should be delighted with the performance of your Pertronix unit.
Easy install, faster starting, smoother idle & it's a set & forget item

Well that's how it is for me & my stock 1200 Coupe has been running one for years.
I also recomend quality leads & some Platinum plugs. I have opened the gap on mine about 10% as these plugs will fire a spark across a given gap at a given compression pressure at a lower voltage.

Bloody beauty, open her up for a nice big fat flame which will fire the mixture perfectly.

If you are running a carb that has provision for vacuum advance then use it. It was provided by those clever Datsun Engineers for a good reason & I have yet to find a valid excuse to think that I am more clever than they were.

If you want to disconnect something, find out, in detail, what it does, how it does it & why it does it, then have another think about it.

[Disconnecting it will leave your engine running retarded from the optimum position when in cruise mode & that doesn't help anything.]

Hey that sounds like it was well worth the purchase than!!
When i added my twin dellortos i enquired on this forum about connecting the vacuum advance as there was no provision to do so on this manifold.
But was told that there would be little vacuum with these carbs anyways so dont bother.... so i didnt :)

But i should?
What plugs are the platnum ones you use?
thanks

I forget what the plugs are, probably some NOS Bosch that I got cheap from a local garage a few years ago.
Otherwise they would be NGK's
I think that in my stock 1200 engine they will last untill the sun grows cold.

Twin Delorto's? I suspect that you wouldn't have enough manifold vacuum to suck a fizzy drink up a straw anyway & since these carbs do not have provision for ported vacuum, it becomes a somewhat moot point.

I put this on yesterday, all went well.
Just wondering is there is any performance increase with this, because it is a bit more punchy/crispy. yum yum

could you just confirm for me where you hooked the "RED" wire from the dizzy.

My Coupe is currently parked about 46miles/70Km away so I can't just pop out for a squizz righ now but will do so ASAP

Any increase in performance will be directly attributed to the fact that every cylinder is firing on every power stroke & every burn is full & complete.

The ignition system will NOT add power of itself but will help to remove the source of a power loss which results in pretty much the same thing but without burning any extra fuel.
This means that a given power output can be achieved at a lower fuel burn rate.

Win/win

Yea thanks for the input, im very happy with it.
Just good to take advantage of the strong aussie dollar.
And a simple rainy day project.
