    unless you have a test bench, neither you nor I can believe its the injectors. and most of the time they may just need cleaning you MUST do your diagnostic due dilligence prior to throwing parts at it.

    What is inside the toon?

    Solar Power Installation . . .

    Upgrade from prestolite to pertronix or replace dist. with delco voyager

    If you are dead set on replacing the mechanical switch (points) with an electronic switch for your coil. I would skip the pertronix and go straight to the voyager. In both cases that I went pertronix, they failed and had to go with points. However the points lasted about 10-15 years with a...
