    Pertronix and Factory Tach

    I too have been using a P1 on my 71/429cj for 5 years now. I just wired it in…no changes/bypassing or anything. Tach works fine. No funny voltages anywhere. The P1 is a really simple KISS device, which is a good thing in my book. My car had a Mallory system in before th P1. It was awful...

    Dual point ignition upgrade?

    Hello forum,  I had a slight problem with my 71/429cj not long ago. It was pertaining from the Mallory Unilite ignition system. Luckily I have my car running nicely again with a basic Pertronix I system. I still have the original dual point distributor. (Not on the car atm). I have bought a...

    Kilgon.....hood was opened 22sec after the photo!🤠👍 I did three longish drives yesterday......the car ran smoothly all the way!🍻 That Mallory Unilite system definitely had me ‘conundrummed’....I just didnt believe it could be that. Until I read it was a ‘infra red light system’........that...

    SOME VERY GOOD NEWS!! I worked on the beast today. Changed the coil...Acdelco 505....sorry..problem persisted. I then took out the Mallory Unilite (infrared !!) ignition system and put in a basic Pertronix I. The car fired up. Sounded completely normal. Oil pressure, temp and amps came up! I...

    Were all 1971 429cj-r/4sp cars dual point distributors? What is the best Pertronix kit for my car? It is not a Pertronix electronic ignition in there atm.....some other brand. Could defective electronic ignition cause my problem?

    Coolant level is fine. Oil level is perfect. Distributor cap is totally dry. Car is stored in doors. Spark plug wires and spark plugs are intact and not damaged. The engine runs absolutely normal and nicely....until the shut down. The car cuts out even when ‘cold’. About 2-3 minutes after...

    Could an overheated sparkplug wire cause this issue? Spark plug wire number 1 was basically lying on the exhaust manifold held down on it by a heater hose......

    After it stalls......it cranks fine and eventually can be started. It is not the original points ignition. It is electronic now....I will get a photo of it tomorrow. I suspect an electric issue too.....but what could cause this? Bad starter solenoid? Voltage regulator? Any ideas welcome👍

    10w30 or 20w50?

    I have used Lucas hotrod oil for a few years now. 10-40. It has some of the highest zinc ppm out there....2100ppm. Valvoline High Zinc is excellent oil, but ‘only’ has 1200ppm. Sunoco have a new classic car oil....2000ppm.......Seems fine too.
