PerTronix Ignitor Electronic Ignition

PerTronix has designed an economical update for your vintage Volvo to change your ignition distributor to electronic instead of mechanical (no more points and condenser). The small, self contained unit fits inside the distributor with a simple two-wire connection to the coil. It provides strong spark throughout the entire RPM range and years of maintenance free performance.

The Ignitor system operates magnetically with no moving parts to wear out. If the point lobes are worn on your distributor you can salvage it by installing this system.

We now have a unit to fit one of the original B18 distributors (which are usually painted black and made of cast iron). B20 distributors are generally made of aluminum. For 122's and 1800's up to 1968, use kit 3E0299 and splice into the hot (+) circuit of the ignition coil which was originally armored. (Most have been converted to a conventional dual terminal coil, but if yours has the original single terminal coil, you'll have to break into the armored cable for connection, (or use wiring kit E106 to bypass it). Full instructions included.
