Pertronix offered for less

[TR4]

I bought the Pertonix kit model LU-142A for my TR4 from Car Shop Inc. and have been very happy with the performance for the past year. Here is the link if your interested. They have the best price out there from what I've seen.

That is a good deal, have you had any other dealings with them, how is their customer service?

 

[TR4]

I have not had to deal with their customer service since this is the only item I've purchased from them. They are quite a large supplier but that does not mean they take care of the customer. All I can tell you is the price was right and they shipped quick.

How about $80 installed and adjusted from Jeff at Advanced!

That is a good price but TRF just had these on sale this past weekend and were thorwing in a free petronix coil. Mine just arrived.

Retro Rockets is just about as good pennies difference. Plus they will match the price with free shipping included.--Fwiw--Keoke

After hearing about all the problems with the failures, I think I will get a spare to carry in the trunk. What part number do I need to order for the TR6?

What is the consensus on petronix dependability? The carshopinc website lists the units by car model.

I've used the system only 500+ miles; but no problems.

Which of these (if either) are the correct numbers:
LU-162A PERTRONIX Ignitor LUCAS 6 Cylinder
LU-166A PERTRONIX Ignitor LUCAS 6 Cylinder
I saw pleanty of tractor brands but nothing for TRIUMPH.

vettedog,
I think the LU-166A is the unit you need. I have a unit from moss (222-395 moss number) and the box is stamped as petronix part no. LU-166A.

Jeff at Advanced Distributors recommended the Pertronix. Brosky has indicated his satisfaction with this system also. However, like Paul, I am having Jeff assemble and set a plate with points so if there is a problem I can simply remove the plate with the Pertronics and install the plate with the points and be on my merry way. I will not even have to adjust them according to Jeff.

I am anxious to get my dizzy back. It should arrive in the next day or two, maybe even today.

I've been running a Pertronix Ignitor in my TR6 for nearly nine years. Zero trouble from it.
