    The Pertronix 1282 Ignitor is a points-to-electronic ignition conversion kit for 1952 to 1957 Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury V8 engines with Motorcraft distributors. It replaces the breaker points with a maintenance-free Hall Effect magnetic trigger sealed in an epoxy-molded module that resists dirt, oil, and moisture, and it sends up to twice the voltage to the spark plugs for easier starting and stronger performance. It runs on 12 volts with a negative ground and uses a 1.5 ohm coil, with no points to adjust once installed.
