Pertronix for the 225 (was:anyone used one?)

Has any one used the PERTEX HEI system on their 225 odd fire? From what I'm told you use your dist. take out points and cond. and screw in the set up and get there coil. The idea that I like here is you can always go back if your in the middle of no where and it craps out on you.
What are your thoughts? Thanks Chris.

 

Re: anyone used one?

That would be it all I got from friend was scribbles hard to decipher. I tried searches with what I had, I'll try it with pertronix. Thanks much. Chris

 

Re: anyone used one?

I ordered one on Friday. It should be here mid next week, and I'll let you know how it goes.

 

It's a shame they don't make em for the Prestolite distributors.

 

The body is cast iron and small in diameter.

 

Just an update. My Pertronix arrived today! It was a very quick simple installation and I cannot believe what an incredible difference it makes. The Jeep starts up very quickly, Idles very smooth and accelerates very smooth and quicker that before with the points.

I'm certain points are very good, but I never mastered getting them set just right. This was very easy and its like a brand new jeep. I highly recommend the upgrade.

 

IIRC it is somewhat larger R)

 

Just wondering how I tell what distributor I have. Mine has the little slideing door on the front of the cap, and has a large style rotor, vs the small old ford style. Can anyone tell me if this is one that I can get a pertonix for

 

Thx Patrick, Does anyone have the pertronix part number for the 225

 

The part number they sent me was #1165 and Flame Thrower Coil #40511, which they told me to use without the resisor.

 

I got my pertronix and coil on wed. Its nice to have a friend who owns a napa I got one heck of a deal.

 

They do for the 4 cylinders. I thought the V-6's were buicks, which if memory serves right are all the delco with the window. Not having access to one with a V6 in it I don't know.
