The Pertronix 1183P12 Ignitor kit is the 12 volt positive 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, more consistent spark on 12 volt positive ground electrical systems. Fitment is set by the original Delco distributor, so match the OE distributor number before ordering.

FAQ
What electrical system does the 1183P12 require?
It is built for 12 volt positive ground systems. Do not install it on a negative ground vehicle.
How is the 1183P12 different from the 1183?
The 1183P12 is the 12 volt positive ground version, while the standard 1183 is 12 volt negative ground. Both convert early Delco 8-cylinder distributors to electronic ignition.
