ninjazombiemaster Posted December 23, 2012 Share #25 Posted December 23, 2012 The thing about it is, even if the life of the pertronix isn't optimal, its still going to be longer than, and require less adjustment than points. It was a drop in modification for my 240, going to and from requires only placing a few screws and wires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EScanlon Posted December 23, 2012 Share #26 Posted December 23, 2012 In my case one of the Pertronix on one of the Roadsters didn't last more than a couple of weeks, and even then minimal engine run time, from side yard to garage and back couple of times a week.The ZX dizzy on the Z, except for one module failure several years ago (after lending it to "check" someone else's installation ... which I heartily opposed but was talked into and now will absolutely NOT lend) has been working for 12+ years without any problems, adjustments or repairs. Oil changes, tune-ups, etc. yes, but nothing to do with the dizzy save cleaning and re-gapping the same spark plugs. I generally take the Z to my mechanic for convenience's sake but he recommended the ZX change over for the other Z's I'm working on in order for me to source them. Sadly, there isn't a direct swap for the Roadsters although there is an individual who re-manufactures dizzies for them.FWIWE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
