Petronix I.E.
Good morning. I'd like to upgrade from points to a Petronix I.E.
Please tell me, if possible, which unit I need for a '50 F1, 6 cyl, 6 volt positive ground with a FOMOCO distributor. I'm hoping there's a fellow member that's completed this that'll have a concrete part number to share. Thanks in advance for any help. |
I converted my six over to pertronix. I called and talked to one of their techs to make sure I got the right one. The guy at the local parts store didn't have a clue on which one to use, even though they were a distributor for Pertronix. Simple process, and I'm happy with the results.

Dave Also might you have an extra 6 volt wide belt generator pulley you could stand to part with? Thanks either way in advance, Douglas |
After talking to the Pertronix tech, I ordered the 1266P6 from Mac's. I believe its the one for the D shaped distributor shaft. Sorry, but I don't have another pulley.

Thanks HBN Dave. Onward & upward!

Forgot to ask, did you also "upgrade" the coil as well? Thanks again.

Calling Petronix is the best bet. My 1956 F100 truck has a 272 Y Block in it but the distributor is a later model (57 up) with both vacuum and centrifugal advances. There are two different sets for the different distributors.
About the coil YES change it out too. When I changed both the ignition (Ignitor III) and coil (Flamethrower III) I also removed the resistor (OKed in the accompanying literature) off the firewall. Very pleased with the results! |
