Pertronix Marine Flamethrower Distributor

I bought this distributor because it was cheaper than Mallory or other distributors. I couldn't install it myself so a local mechanic did it for me. now my 85 centurion ski is purring like a kitten.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Nothing

The one I received was rubbish.

I cracked. I bought a Pertronix igniter for my old Prestolite dealer and this thing worked fine until I noticed the springs in it were so worn they were coming back from their promotion. That's why I ordered this paper pulp. I installed it and the boot ran like crap. He spat, coughed, hiccuped, and fired backwards through the carburetor. Big. I figured it was about time so I took everything apart, found the OT and put it back together. Because the boat was so old, I assumed it was something…

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Exorbitant price
