Description:
A solid-state electronic ignition system. Never change points again! The Ignitor by PerTronix has proven itself for over 30 years in applications ranging from race cars to tractors. The Ignitor replaces the points in your 240Z (single point distributors only) with a dependable, self contained and maintenance free electronic ignition system. The Ignitor has been called the "stealth" ignition because of its quick installation and nearly undetectable presence under your distributor cap. Stock Distributor & Rotor not included.

Performance Coils:
The PerTronix Ignitor is not for use with "box" type coils. We recommend only the PerTronix Flame-Thrower' Coils for use with the Ignitor (see Related Items). Please call if you have any questions. If used with the wrong type of coil, the PerTronix warranty will be void.

Note:
Automatic transmission models came equipped with Dual Point distributors. If you currently have a dual point distributor, you will need to locate and install a single point distributor from a manual transmission model in order to use this kit. This kit will NOT work with dual point distributors. Please give us a call if you are not sure whether you have a dual point or single point distributor in your car.
