Product Description

By entering your model number, you can make sure that this fits.

Increases horsepower, fuel efficiency, and spark plug life by delivering twice the voltage to the spark plugs.

For increased coil output, there is a 2:1 improvement over points in the current fall time.

A Hall Effect integrated circuit is triggered by rotating cobalt magnets. There are no points to burn and no moving parts to wear out.

Our module is dirt, oil, grease, and moisture resistant thanks to epoxy molding.

There is no need to make any adjustments because the timing is stable.

Questions & Answers

Is this compatible with a Ford 223 i6?

Yes, I used it in my 1959 Ford F100, which had a 223 i6 engine.

Is the 1261 the right model for a 170cc 66 (Austrian XP) falcon?

Yes, if you're talking about the straight 6. It's for my 74 Mustang 2 that I purchased it. 8L v- 6, Oops, it's a Porsche dist in a Ford, but I have a brand new, unused one for sale. Pertronix was contacted for the proper application. model

Hi there. Is this part for a 66 Mustang that doesn't have a Thermactor? Because I'm aware that Pertronix makes these for both thermactor and non-thermactor cars. ?

I've been running the 1261 in a non-stop fashion for a while now. I've had a thermactor 1969 coupe for a while and have had no problems with it. Just make sure the ballast resistor between the ignition switch and the coil is bypassed, and you'll be fine.

Is this part compatible with a 1948 Ford F1 226?

According to Pertronix, this is not the case. This is said to be suitable for models from 1949 onwards. If you're not willing to lose money, I wouldn't risk it. A $6 ignition kit from Rockauto is available for that application. Wells AIRTEX/WELLS 8T1036 A7A12000B, C4DZ12000A, TK147MV AIRTEX/WELLS 8T1036 A7A12000B, C4DZ12000A, TK147MV

The 1261 will not work with the loadamatic dist on a 1959 Ford 223ci, so you'll need the 1266 instead

5/5

The ignition system is fantastic; I've installed six of them in various vehicles and have never had a problem. 1959 Ford 6 Cylinder, simple installation, excellent performance.

After installation, I was very pleased with how well it worked

5/5

After installation, I was very pleased with how well it worked. It took a little more effort to put on than in YouTube videos, but with a little forethought, I was able to do so. I'd like to emphasize the importance of purchasing the proper module for your vehicle. I went to the Pertronix website to get all of the necessary information and the proper application for my vehicle; not all distributors are created equal. It is worthwhile to conduct some research. It was a good deal. I went for a test drive after installing it and checking and setting the timing. I noticed improved acceleration and performance at high RPM. I would recommend this as a replacement for any older vehicle.

It was a fantastic upgrade that was well worth the money! This was a perfect fit for my 1966 Mustang, which had a 200ci six-cylinder engine

5/5

My car used to run poorly before I installed this ignition system. This system is fantastic, especially with the stage 2 coil. My car now idles smoothly, accelerates more quickly, and is more enjoyable to drive; both items took about 40 minutes to install.

Do You Think You've Got A Carburetor Problem? Reconsider your position

5/5

If you have points, you should test this product before rebuilding or replacing your carburetor. On a rainy day, my mustang would perform differently than it did on a sunny day. I thought I had bad gas in the tank, which resulted in a jerky or sluggish idle. On a rainy day, I installed this product and it made my engine run like new while using the same gas. A very affordable update for your classic baby is highly recommended. Installation was simple, and the price was very reasonable.

There were no issues with the installation

5/5

It took me about 20 minutes if I wasn't in a rush. For a more reliable ignition system, simply replace your points and condenser.

It's a perfect fit and purrs

5/5

The instructions were lacking, but I was able to find plenty of information on the internet for my 1966 Mustang L6.

It is simple to set up and use

5/5

A simple- It made my truck run a little more reliably than points, but I already had my points and dwell set up correctly, so the difference wasn't that noticeable. However, it's a good product, and knowing that it's likely delivering a better spark than my points gives me peace of mind.
