Installing Pertronix Ignitor II and Flamethrower II.

So today I went to my car to replace the old points in my distributor with a brand new Pertronix Ignitor II module. Also the coil was going to be replaced with a Pertronix Flamethrower II.

Big surprise when I popped the distributor cap off. There was a Pertronix Ignitor I (older version which is still sold) in it! Well, that saved me a bit of work ripping out the old stuff at least.

I also replaced the rotor. The old one is burned too bad for my liking.

So that's the base plate that I need to install the new module on. I noticed that I can move it with my finger a bit. Not sure if it's supposed to.

Here's everything installed. It wasn't too hard. Unfortunately it didn't fix my starting issues so the next post will most likely about finding TDC and setting the initial timing...
