Hello,  Just curious if anyone has tried the ignitor II that  Clarks has. I 
have regular points and they are fine, but if I can install  this what 
appears to be a simple conversion and get a noticeable  improvement in 
performance and reliability, I would consider the switch.  Any input?  
Thanks, Mark B.





Mark - Many folks have installed the Ignitor and the Ignitor II. I am not  
sure you will receive any performance or reliability improvement. What you will  
receive is a reduction in maintenance, since the Ignitors are pretty much set 
 and forget. Your ignition advance will remain where you set it, because the 
wear  in the points set will not occur. I do recommend the Ignitor to someone 
who is  building a new set up, say, someone who has just acquired a car and 
has no  history on it. The ignitor is less sensitive to distributor shaft wobble 
than  points. But if your distributor is in good shape and the firing is 
stable - as  shown by the timing light on the balancer, you aren't missing much. -
