Hi does anyone have a copy of the pertronix ignitor 1181 chevy 1958-1974 instructions. Pertronix does no have instrutions on their web site. I'm tring to trace a breaking up under load problem (low rpm only) Thanks Dave

Dave, I'll check my box tonight to see if the instructions are in there. Are you planning on going to the Jackson Outlet cruise night tonight? I know Kevin is going to be there and I want to check it out.

Yup, I will be limping in smile.gif I'm still fighting with my engine to find the perfect spot (tune, that is) One way=pinging, other way=dieseling. It's very frustrating.

I only have 100 miles on engine and the vacuum is still too low. Replaced the intake gasket, carb/intake gasket and lower carb gasket. No problems found. Did a propane test all around intake and carb, no change in idle. I did a best of 14 in at idle. I still have to do a comp test to see if it may be internal (rings not seated yet).

I bought a Crane adjustable vacuum advance and am still playing with the timing.

blue/blue springs at 36 is very close, I'm going to try blue/silver at 34 or 32 next, cause I think it's a little sluggish with the 2 blues.

Sat and sun will be test and tune weekend. I just ran out of time for the cruise. I'm glad it's close :D

see ya there, Kevin

Check your mail smile.gif

Hello Jeff, I did not make the Jackson event. I still do not trust the car to go that distance. The car is having a major breaking up problem under load low RPM only. How is your z project going?

Hello Kevin, Reading some of your recent post sounds like your having a Frustrating summer with your engine. Good luck and i'm sure we will cross paths sometime this summer.

Dave, it was a huge turnout last night. I guess it was the first really nice Friday night for the cruise and there was a ton of cars. I have the Pertronix instructions if you want to borrow them. I also have the unit sitting in the box if you want to try swapping it with yours to see if your unit is bad.
