Hi guys,
The ignition system on my 1989 V8 3.5 looks original - apart from a new dizzy cap someone put on quite recently. But the amplifier and coil both appear to be 36 years old. I'm getting a very weak spark and am tempted to fit a new electronic ignition and have done with it. A bit of research seemed to indicate - judging by old threads (many 10 years old) here and elsewhere recommend the PerTronix Ignitor LU-181 as the top choice for ease of fitting, reliability and simplicity. Would that still be the case today or has it been superceded by something else altogether? I do NOT want anything too complicated; especially anything you have to set-up with an "app" (spit!). So.... your thoughts?
