SM-PERTRONIX DISTRIBUTOR CONVERSION

While the SEV Marchel distributor with dual coils is a perfectly adequate ignition system the cost of replacement parts (upwards of $200 each) is not realistic. The hei conversion using GM parts is a perfect solution but costs upwards of $500. The Pertronix conversion prototype I describe here is an alternative that owners may want to pursue. It can be completed for under $100. Click on "procedure" below for instructions. Updated March 14, 2005
