The PerTronix Ignitor ignition kit is a drop in points replacement kit for Bosch 009 and 050 distributors that eliminates the old points and condenser.

Convert your 009 or 050 distributor to an electronic ignition for a worry free ignition and get an increase in spark voltage, performance and economy.

Compatible with Bosch 0231 178 009 and 0230 081 050 Distributors.

Don't get burned. Electronic Ignition Install Tips:

1. Make sure your engine is wired up properly. The only wires that should be on your coil's negative terminal are a tachometer signal and the negative of the electronic ignition.

2. Make sure you have the right coil. Check the specs on your electronic ignition unit. All standard electronic ignition units require a coil with no less than 3.0 ohms of resistance. Common compatible coils are the Bosch Blue, Beru Blue and Pertronix 3.0 ohm flamethrower.

3. Don't leave the key on! Make sure to keep the key switched to "on" a minimal amount of time when the engine is not running. If you need to leave it on for trouble shooting disconnect the electronic ignition unit or it can overheat and fail.

4. Enjoy it! Your car should run smooth and be less finicky with an electronic ignition. Get out and cruise!

This eliminates point adjustment and allows for a smoother running engine. This unit uses an aftermarket VW 009 distributor housing, which means that factory cap and rotors are retained for easy servicing.
