The Pertronix 1867A Ignitor is a points-to-electronic ignition conversion kit for six-cylinder engines using the Bosch distributor found on 1971 to 1977 Porsche 911, BMW, Ford, Mercury and Mercedes-Benz models. It replaces the points and condenser with a maintenance-free magnetic-trigger module for reliable starting and a stronger spark. The kit runs on a 12-volt negative-ground system and installs inside the original distributor.

FAQ
What does the Pertronix 1867A 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 1867A fit?
It is designed for Bosch 6-cylinder distributor (Porsche 911, BMW, Ford, Mercury, Mercedes-Benz). Fitment is determined by the distributor, so check your distributor against the Pertronix fitment list before ordering.
What electrical system does the 1867A 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 1867A 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.
