The Pertronix 1847V Ignitor is a points-to-electronic ignition conversion kit for European four-cylinder engines fitted with a Bosch 4-cylinder distributor. It replaces the points and condenser with a self-contained magnetic-trigger module, delivering more reliable starts, a stronger spark, and freedom from routine points maintenance. The kit runs on a 12-volt negative-ground system and installs out of sight beneath the stock distributor cap.

FAQ
What does the Pertronix 1847V Ignitor kit do?
It converts the original breaker-point ignition to electronic. The Ignitor replaces the points and condenser inside the existing distributor with a self-contained magnetic-trigger module, so the engine starts more reliably, holds timing better, and needs no points to clean, gap or replace.
What does the Pertronix 1847V fit?
It is designed for Bosch 4-cylinder distributor (European and Japanese applications). Fitment is determined by the distributor, so check your distributor against the Pertronix fitment list before ordering.
What electrical system does the 1847V require?
It is built for a 12 volt negative ground system. Confirm your vehicle matches this voltage and ground polarity, because Ignitor kits are voltage and ground specific.
Does the 1847V need any maintenance or a special coil?
No routine maintenance is required once installed, and there are no points to re-gap. It works with the vehicle's existing coil or a compatible Pertronix Flame-Thrower coil that matches the system voltage.
