    The Pertronix 1183 Ignitor kit converts an early Delco 8-cylinder distributor from breaker points to electronic ignition. It installs inside the stock distributor, runs on a 12 volt negative ground system, and provides a stronger, more consistent spark for easier starting and less maintenance. Fitment is based on the original early Delco 8-cylinder distributor, so match the OE distributor number using the Pertronix distributor lookup.

    • Type: Ignitor points-to-electronic ignition conversion
    • Trigger: Magnetic (Hall effect)
    • Voltage: 12 volt
    • Ground: negative ground
    • Cylinders: 8
    • Recommended coil: 1.5 ohm
    • Fits: Original early Delco 8-cylinder distributors
    • Sold as: Complete conversion kit
    • Part number: 1183

    Fitment is determined by the original early Delco 8-cylinder distributor. Confirm the OE distributor number against the Delco list or the Pertronix distributor lookup.

    FAQ

    What does the Pertronix 1183 kit do?

    It replaces the points and condenser in an early Delco 8-cylinder distributor with a sealed electronic module for breakerless ignition.

    How do I confirm the 1183 fits my distributor?

    Match your original early Delco 8-cylinder distributor number to the Pertronix distributor list rather than relying on year and model alone.

    What coil is recommended for the 1183?

    A 1.5 ohm coil on a 12 volt negative ground system is recommended.
