Anyone put a Pertronix unit on a 226 Falthead 6? If so, which model was the correct one, and what issues did you encounter/how has it worked?

TIA!

i don't think they make one that fits. i have a 254 and i had to get a distributor made to fit the engine. tim

 

Tim,

So what ign are you using? I know of at least one guy who is using a Crane electronic ign on his 226, but Crane no longer warranties it for 6V usage. Pertronix says they may be able to get a part number, but I have to get the distributor number to do so, and to get that I have to remove the distributor, which I dont want to do if I dont have to. What are you running that "big" 254 in? They are hard to find!

I Wanted to bring this back to the top. Anyone have an answer for this problem? I would love to replace my points. I have always had positive results when doing so. Even in my VW bug.

 

Mallory made me a distributor to replace the stock unit. it has only mech advance. i've never had any problems with it. i can did up the part # if anyone is interested. i think it cost under $300. tim

 

That would be great. How does it work without the vaccuum performance wise?

 

The Pertronix Ignitor model 1266N6 is a point replacement module that is supposed to fit inside a stock 226 distributor. If you have a decent distributor and just want an electronic conversion, this should work.
