The Pertronix 1183N6 Ignitor kit is the 6 volt negative ground version of the early Delco 8-cylinder conversion. It replaces breaker points inside the original early Delco 8-cylinder distributor with a sealed electronic trigger and delivers a stronger spark on early 6 volt negative ground electrical systems. Fitment is set by the original Delco distributor, so match the OE distributor number before ordering.
